BESPOKE TAILORING AT HOME

Fourth-generation tailor

From the family tailoring business to international experience as a private tailor in Italy, Malta, Switzerland and Eastern Europe: this is the story of Giuseppe Rapisarda

The Common Thread of Excellence

The expertise of Sartoria Rapisarda has been passed down from father to son for
four generations: nearly 100 years of tailoring tradition which, under Giuseppe, blends with internationally inspired techniques and a flexible, modern approach.

Giuseppe Rapisarda

50 years in tailoring

The familial tailoring business has always been my second home. At the age of 16, I took my first steps there, alongside my father, with needle, thread and chalk in hand and a heart full of passion.

I wanted to achieve big things, to leave my Sicily and go abroad, taking my suits with me. After almost 50 years, I can say I've succeeded.
- Giuseppe Rapisarda

Experience

Giuseppe's career began at the Rapisarda tailor's shop in Catania, before continuing in prestigious Italian ateliers and as a private tailor for prominent business families in Malta.

After gaining experience with various tailoring traditions in Albania and Bulgaria, Giuseppe opened his first atelier in Valletta (Malta) in 2006. In 2013, he moved to Lugano, the ideal base to offer his bespoke tailoring services to high-profile customers across Europe.
