Corneliani

Corneliani, an Italian manufacturer of menswear and (made-to-measure) suits, was founded in 1958. The family-owned firm stretches back to the 1930s when Alfredo Corneliani, set up a craft business making raincoats and coats.

After the Second World War Alfredo's sons Claudio and Carlalberto set up Corneliani S.p.A. in Mantua in 1958. Corneliani has joined Fondazione Altagamma, the foundation that has united the companies most synonymous with supreme Italian quality in the fashion, design, jewellery, hospitality, food, motors and wellness sectors since 1992. In 2005, Corneliani was awarded the Premio Qualità Leonardo, a sought-after honour which is conferred by the President of the Italian Republic to those Italian companies that have excelled in their technological standards and have achieved the greatest success on the international markets. A made to measure Corneliani suit is hand sewn and has hand finished details. It takes 150 steps and 27 hand-crafted stages for a jacket. Wholesale E: info@corneliani.it Photo credit: Corneliani
