Atri Makes, The World Takes: Sartoria dei Duchi Unveils New Custom Collection

Sartoria dei Duchi, an Italian menswear label, has undoubtedly made a name for itself with slick, high-end offerings. Established in 2017 by Piero Pavone, the company is gaining popularity due to its commitment to traditional Italian craftsmanship and high-quality, custom-made suits and shirts. The latest custom collection from the Atri, Italy-based brand has just been released, and it’s sure to be a hit with fashion-forward men worldwide.

Dukes of Tailoring

Sartoria dei Duchi is a proudly Italian brand inspired by the Dukes of Acquaviva, a noble family from the Italian region of Abruzzo. The Dukes of Acquaviva were renowned for their impeccable style and grace, and Sartoria dei Duchi has taken this timeless elegance and infused it into their stunning clothing designs.

Although born and raised in Atri, Pavone spent a lot of time traveling worldwide. He opted to return to his homeland and use his reputation to restore Atri’s reputation as a fashion capital. In particular, Pavone focuses on the tailor-made suit movement.

The Main Collection

Sartoria dei Duchi’s main collection is based on the Italian tailoring tradition known for its classic elegance. The master tailors and the high-quality fabrics they use – from the Loro Piana, Piacenza, and Caccioppoli collections – guarantee that customers will always look their best.

Sopra Visso

The Sopra Visso is a new suit model that recalls a vintage style, a timeless elegance, revisited in a modern way by our Italian master tailors to create a unique three-piece dress, made with a heavier wool of the highest quality, Loro Piana’s new 100% “Sopra Visso” Italian wool (340 gr/ml).

Loro Piana Textile has discovered a long-lost wool breed of sopra visso sheep, indigenous to Visso in Italy’s Sybilline Mountains. Sopra Visso was transformed into a suit fabric with traditional patterns in warm autumnal hues. This premium raw material, with a springy feel and a lively appearance, added an informal twist to the fabric.

The suit is made in 3 pieces, jacket, gilet, and trousers. All buttonholes, pockets, garments, and finishes are made by hand. This suit is snug yet extremely comfortable, making it perfect for business and everyday occasions.

Look good, feel great

Bespoke Italian tailoring is second to none when it comes to suits. Even though there are plenty of ready-to-wear options, a tailored Italian suit is worth the extra cost for one reason – they are well worth the investment due to their high quality, expert tailoring, and impeccable fit.

Pavone expounds, “The point of a bespoke suit is that there is no such thing as a universally identical suit. Every order is as one-of-a-kind as the individual who places it. The right body language can make or break a deal in a business meeting. Feeling good about ourselves causes a noticeable shift in how we come across to others. Wearing a custom suit makes you look and feel great and gives you the confidence and sophistication you deserve. At Sartoria dei Duchi, we aim to reflect this unique character.“

The Sartoria dei Duchi team is hoping to replicate the success of their Dubai showroom and further promote the craftsmanship and comfort that Bespoke Italian suits provide by opening new locations in London, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore in 2023.
