1968: the beginning
Salerno. Biagio Santaniello, a tailor, and Carmela Forino, a trouser maker, combined their skills and founded an artisan workshop. Here, they craft bespoke trousers and jackets for a local clientele, following the codes of Campania tailoring: attention to detail, a meticulous fit, and solid construction.
1991: the first collection
The arrival of their children, Antonio, Giuliana, and Carmine, transformed the workshop into a company. In 1991, the first true collection was born, marking the transition from made-to-measure production to offering a complete wardrobe. The goal was clear: to maintain artisanal quality on a larger scale.
Today: archive and future
Antonio, creative director, guides the design process, starting from the company's historical archive. Each season, pieces are created that reinterpret patterns, cuts, and constructions from the past using contemporary fabrics and updated proportions. It's not about nostalgia, but about method: studying what worked to create classics that will work tomorrow.
