"Bespoke" is something made by hipsters. You buy it at a pretentious shop, and they charge way too much for it. It's one level worse than artisanal.

"Bespoken" is the wrong word in this context. It's basically a typo.

Yeah, no.

The adjective "bespoken" means "ordered, commissioned, arranged for" and is first cited from 1607

New York aficionados will delight at the Manhattan, an aircraft with design flourishes that reflect styles curated from New York’s top interior designers.

"Bespoken" is perfectly cromulent in this context.
