Custom jackets for the representatives of every bar in the 1–50 list — plus Campari One To Watch Award honouree Workshop14 — rolling out across 14 markets in Asia.
The initiative honours the individuals whose vision and artistry breathe life into Asia’s best bars. Through this program, Campari will collaborate with the representatives of each bar in the 1 – 50 list, along with the winner of the Campari One To Watch Award, to design and craft a bespoke bar jacket. Each jacket will be co-created with the bartender and a local tailoring partner, reflecting the soul of their bar and designed to perform beautifully in the fast-paced energy of service.
Among those receiving custom jackets are Jay Khan, Co-Founder and Head Mixologist at COA in Hong Kong; Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana of Dry Wave in Bangkok; Keith Motsi of VIRTÙ at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi; Andrew Ho of Hope & Sesame in Guangzhou; and Joash Conceicao of Offtrack in Singapore — each a driving force behind one of Asia’s most celebrated bars.
Over the coming months, Campari will document the tailoring journeys of selected bartenders across 14 markets in a series of short videos and portraits, capturing fittings, design choices, and the stories behind each jacket. These sessions will be shared on Campari’s digital platforms and through regional partners.
