The Art Of Tailoring

Along the Adriatic coast in Italy’s Marche region lies Portonovo, home to a rich tradition of tailoring that has endured for generations. Here, the Lardini family operates a renowned tailoring facility, where craftsmen bring an intimate knowledge of their trade to John Varvatos suiting.

The facility itself has undergone a remarkable evolution. Once a small, informal operation, it has grown into a state-of-the-art center for production while maintaining knowledge and passion at the heart of its work. Its story is closely tied to the surrounding community, with nearly half of the village now employed there.

Creative Director Karl Aberg first visited the facility in 1999. Returning decades later, he found a transformed operation and the same dedication to tailoring that had left an impression on him years before.

 

 

“Knowing that this factory represents the pinnacle of ‘Made in Italy’ and global tailoring quality, and hearing the inspiring story of the brothers who started it with nothing in their youth instills in me deep respect.”


— Karl Aberg, Creative Director
