ARCHIVI SARTORIALI

“A FAMILY MATTER”, FROM TUSCANY TO THE WORLD

There’s all the pride of a father, Andrea Bernini’s, in seeing that he has succeeded in passing on to his daughters Benedetta and Diletta his knowledge – gained through working in the field for decades – of textiles and tailoring, which today is further enriched thanks to the contribution and approach of the new generation, natural extension of a life project.

A shared passion that also encompasses the way of communicating a new design concept of menswear and womenswear with outstanding fit, starting from a central size, serving as a reference, which is then adapted so that the garment impeccably fits and suits the customer. Every stage of the process is carefully managed, from the very research of the fabrics and materials. Over the years, Andrea’s business and research travels, along with his passion, have indeed contributed to building a cultural heritage that has gradually been refined to obtain a sober and contemporary “Japanese-style” mood, made unique by his personality and very Italian ability to translate a local style into international taste. This style has particularly seduced the US upper class, which has welcomed the proposals of Archivi Sartoriali owning to their soft and transversal lines, well-suited to both the essence of a modern lifestyle, and a variety of physiques, as they enhance the personality of those who wear the brand’s creations. “Easy”, easy to read, is an adjective that, for Americans, sums up Archivi Sartoriali’s graceful flair. An ostensible simplicity of style, which actually holds multifaceted expertise. Andrea and his family are like architects who, from a modern atelier based in the Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence – a place that, owing to its mood and flair, recalls a design studio – have created a proposal that can be customized, without relinquishing the traits of its DNA. This is, without a doubt, one of the brand’s strenghts. A professional team that can count on state-of-the-art technology governed by human ability, such as the dexterous cut, one of Archivi Sartoriali’s style features, capable of turning the fabric from raw stone into pure gem.Archivi Sartoriali offers an all-embracing service: from the research of fabrics and materials, to the coordination and assistance in the prototyping phase, to samples creation, down to garment manufacture: jackets and coats, dresses and trousers, shirts and knitwear, leatherwear for man and for women. The creative team, led by Michela Parrini, especially for the Women’s collections, strikes the perfect balance between Michela’s revisited-classic style and Diletta’s contemporary flair, who, with her creativity, captures and transforms the latest young and classy trends. Archivi Sartoriali has always come up with garments that are perfectly suited to both men’s and women’s body shapes and taste. They are ante litteram “genderless” creations, like the iconic trousers, sober expression of contemporary fluidity and comfort. “Today, the high-end and luxury market is focusing on sartorial quality” says Andrea Barontini, “in particular on made-to-measure. This is a small but profitable segment, extremely promising also for emerging markets that are increasingly aware of the strategic importance of relying on a partner with our characteristics. Today, the key to success is called “customization” and we are structured to guarantee the best outcome. The mission is to maintain, season after season, classic items, and customizing them with accessories and according to the needs of the brands that rely on us. Never forgetting our motto: BE UNIQUE, BE DESIGNER OF YOURSELF”.
