Bretelle & Braces

It all began in the garage under the house, where in 2004, the brothers Rosanna and Mirco Merlo, already in the accessories sales sector for thirty years, created Bretelle & Braces.

The watchword is care for tradition, typical of the best Made in Italy. This is how the accessory that will soon become a cult in clothing takes shape: the suspenders. It starts to produce and sell in its own territory, the Veneto, to then expand into the rest of Italy. The leap in quality takes place with participation in Pitti, an international fair in the men's fashion sector. The product is also immediately noticed by foreign buyers, specifically by oriental ones who especially appreciate Made in Italy. The aim of Bretelle & Braces is the attention to detail, so the best metal parts, the best leathers and the best silks are used to create exclusive braces. To the production of the suspenders are added the belts, which are all strictly hand-woven, both the elastic ones and the leather ones, as well as the buckles are covered in leather. 2014 sees the entry into the company of Annamaria and Massimiliano (Mirco's children) who bring their know-out and expand the production with clutches and bow ties to match the suspenders. With them we fly to New York and Berlin, to participate in the international trade fairs Mrket and Premium . In 2018 they launch a new challenge and present themselves at the Pitti Bimbo fair, with braces and belts for the little ones, always refined accessories with attention to the smallest details like any product under the Bretelle & Braces brand. A last look at the world of accessories and thus also the production of gloves, an accessory symbol of elegance; and, as always, the focus is still on quality.
