Tailoring in Venice

A Postcard from Venice

There’s a quiet, hidden elegance to Venice that makes you feel like an intruder. Not the kind of intruder that causes alarm, but the sort that tips their hat as they enter an old world that’s seen more than its share of time’s heavy hand. Venice has always been like that, an enigma wrapped in canals, a place where the grandeur of its past drips slowly into the water. It’s a city that’s paradoxically both timeless and ephemeral, clinging to history in a way that only the truly ancient can, swimming in its own secrets.

Handmade in Veneto: A Visit to our Tailoring Factory

As the sun begins its steady climb over the heart of the Veneto region, we are hurtling along the autostrada to visit the factory where our tailoring journey began more than four decades ago. Sure, last night’s pampanella is sitting heavy in the stomach, and the driver is gesticulating a little too much when changing lanes, but the anticipation is palpable - we’re here to see something rather special.
