AW26 · Issue Nº07

Quiet power, cut to last.

The Autumn/Winter collection — a study in tailoring, weight and restraint. Forty-two pieces, made in small runs across Florence and Porto.

A new vocabulary for modern womenswear — disciplined, quietly luxurious, refreshingly unfussy.

The Atelier

Made slowly, in two small houses.

Tailoring is cut and finished in a converted convent in Oltrarno, Florence. Knitwear is shaped by a family-run mill outside Porto that has been spinning yarn for four generations.

Each collection is produced in runs of fewer than three hundred pieces — quiet, deliberate, and intended to be lived in for years.
