Cesare Attolini Napoli: Flawless Sartorial Jewels
For three generations, with client’s ranging from Hollywood stars
to business icons, the Attolini family philosophy about the artistry
of tailoring remains unchanged: Thread, needle, thimble and
scissors are the only tools needed to create unique handmade
garments.
Like his father, Cesare Attolini, master tailor and current creator
of the collection, has maintained the style and tradition of handtailoring
unchanged. What has changed is that third generation
Attolinis, Massimiliano and Giuseppe have brought these sartorial
masterpieces to most international cities. From New York to Dubai
and from London to Tokyo, Attolini Collection pieces can be found
in most exclusive shops around the world.
As Massimiliano puts it: “Elegance is not perfection”.
Today, Cesare Attolini Napoli achieves a perfect balance between
modernity and tradition, including trademark inventions such as
the barchetta breast pocket, the shirt sleeve shoulder and buttons
sewn close together on the jacket sleeve. With 160 tailors, Cesare
Attolini now exports to 15 countries. Yet, despite this growth, as
Giuseppe says, “The passion to create handmade garments with
precise attention to the last detail is the same now as it was then.”
In addition to made-to-measure elegance and care for details,
exceptionally careful selection of fabric is another Attolini
cornerstone. In fact, after careful research, Massimiliano and
Giuseppe themselves personally select all the Attolini exclusive
fabrics from small mills both in Italy and Scotland.
