French bespoke suits by Francesco Smalto

The novelist Fran?oise Sagan once wrote of Francesco Smalto: “He is one of those rare men who can combine luxury and austerity, the everyday and brilliance. He is a craftsman and a nobleman”. It is to this handsome definition that the firm has remained faithful since its beginnings, and it is now fifty years old.

Here, men do not come in search of the changing winds of fashion but to rediscover the spirit of couture that discloses its identity as closely as possible. Exceptional fabrics and materials, impeccable precision of the cut, care for the slightest detail. In addition to this master craftsmanship, there is another basic concept, that of offering comfort before all else!

The cooperation involved in making a suit is the result of a special ritual, enabling each client to create his garment to his own measurements and taste. At each stage, the tailor is there to understand how the client sees his suit and to answer his needs with complete discretion. The advice is dependent on the client’s lifestyle, stature and preferences in terms of fabrics, colour and cut. The tailor guarantees the aesthetic balance and correct fit of the garment so that it matches both to tradition and to contemporary styles.
