HIGH-END BESPOKE SUITS

Bespoke,
or "made to speak for you"

The Bespoke service is the ultimate expression of the authentic Italian tailoring tradition: suits crafted from scratch, entirely customised, using fine fabrics that speak for themselves.

For those who want more than tailor-made

A bespoke suit is not simply a tailor-made suit: there is no standard design. Before it's "bespoken" - from the Old English "commissioned", "ordered in advance" - the bespoke suit simply does not exist. The concept, the pattern, the measurements, the fabrics, the details - everything is defined from scratch by the tailor - Giuseppe Rapisarda - together with the customer - you.

Entirely hand-sewn
