The Making

“He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
― Francis of Assisi

SHIRT PASSION
We make shirts because we are passionate about them: we wear them and cherish them. That's why we have developed a "No-gape" buttoning system, which has given extra movement to the bust area with our horizontal buttonholes. We have studied the right "slimming" proportions. We have developed interchangeable contrasts and added a hidden microfiber cloth to clean your sunnies and shine up your smart-phone.

ITALIAN TEXTILES
Celina visits the textile mills to select unique fabrics that are created in century old mills, where the skilled hands of master craftsmen transform the precious fiber into cottons or silks to be worn and enjoyed.

BUTTONS
Most of our shirts have mother of pearl buttons. They all come from the valley of buttons, between Bergamo and Brescia, in the North of Italy. The last button of our shirts has the Italian flag (it mentions, but does not scream, that you are wearing a Signora shirt).
