It's that time of year where we are pleased to announce the arrival of the summer seasonal fabrics from Caccoipoli, Naples most beloved merchant of fine cloth.
Loro Piana’s brand new Proposte Abiti and Giacche summer collections have arrived.

We were recently commissioned by a client to make a bespoke jacket for his upcoming wedding. Weddings these days com in all shapes and forms…..from the super traditional church weddings, to the more easy-going barn style. Each reflecting the style and characters of the lucky couple.
