While there’s many important names to know in Italian fashion, there’s a few that you simply cannot miss out on. One of these, is the very special and particular, Cesare Attolini.

Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Attolini first found success in the 1930’s for his trademark suits, fitted in the armpits and capped with soft shoulders. Today, his name remains one of the foremost suit designers in the world!

While you can now purchase Attolini’s suits made to order, his piece de resistance remains his handmade suits. The bespoke suits take a total of eight weeks and the customer chooses every detail from the lapel, buttons and fabric. Measured to fit like a glove, the suit is sent to Italy, where it is crafted by hand by the expert tailors that have continued to uphold Attolini’s legacy till this day.  While his suits certainly aren’t a small expense, ranging from $4,000 to $10,000  the pleasure and years of wear that come from Attolini’s suits is simply priceless, an “experience” to be worn again and again.
