What went wrong with Berluti ?My 2 cents on Parisian shirtmaking.
- Lanvin is dead, sad though.
- Mary Frittolini stopped but is active on social media indeed. I had one shirt made. Beautiful work I must admit but the collar was a tad rigid for me.
- I had 10 shirts made by Lucca. He used to be really good but one a very specific style. Then the quality went down the drain for some reason. A charming man.
- I have 8 shirts from Courtot. Probably one of the best options in Paris and the man is also very pleasant.
- Charvet is overpriced and not worth it but I must admit their fabric floor is to die for. Also the only place where one would find Zendalyne.
- Daniel Levy has good press but have never seen nor ordered anything.
- plenty of Industrial MTM makers That aren’t worth anything
- Camps de Luca and Cifonelli offer bespoke shirts. Pricey.
- I can’t step into Berluti. Had a terrible experience and giving money to LVMH pains me, to some extent. I’ve got to turn a blind eye when it comes to Loro Piana.
- Jean Manuel Moreau makes beautiful shirts but made in Italy. I’ve got many and am very happy.
- He’s one of my three shirt makers with Luca Avitabile and 100Hands (best make out there).
Thanks for sharing, super interested even though unlikely that I will get to try any of them soon.
