So I picked up two Bijan suits yesterday. Unsure of the maker. I believe Kiton and D'Avenza have manufactured for Bijan. Can anyone identify the makers based on the following two labels? Thanks.

This one is Isaia, for certain.

I wonder if they do it to the old Enrico Isaia standard. That was some well made clothing.

Agreed. I have a few of those older Enrico models via Scott Hill and they are exquisitely tailored with noticably mroe handwork than their current relatives.

They made both lines for awhile.

I thought that the Enrico's were nicer than the Kiton that Scott Hill replaced them with.

The first is D'Avenza, the second is Isaia.
