Possen Made-to-Fit Lorenzini shirts

Possen Made-to-Fit Fashion proudly presents a wonderful new acquisition in its already impressive assortment of renowned ateliers and weavers for made-to-measure fashion. The pick of the bunch for the devotee of a perfectly fitting handmade shirt of the best quality available worldwide: Lorenzini

More than 25 components, 50 steps and an hour of work go into the creation of each Lorenzini shirt. The craftsmanship is trademark, spanning four generations. But the inspiration is the personal touch behind the label, and the women of Lorenzini who have been paramount to its success.

Started almost by accident in 1920, Antonio Lorenzini founded the premium shirting company upon being instructed by his doctor to move from Milan to the Northern Italian countryside for health reasons. Looking to make a living in Merate, a small town near Lake Maggiore, he relied upon his wife, Giovanina, who loved to sew. Together they struck up a business and percolated a passion that has trickled through the Lorenzini matriarchy. Since then, four generations of Lorenzini women have run the company with international success.

The shirts are cut in Merate then delivered to Lorenzini’s assembly factory in Bergamo where they are sewn and pressed, then sent back to their Merate origin for consignment. Fabrics for Lorenzini’s shirts are sourced from Italian shirting mills like Canclini, S.I.C. Tess, Tessitura Monti and Albini, as well as the small Swiss mill Alumo. And exclusively at Possen made-to-Fit Fashion also the Loro Piana shirt fabrics are available for your tailor-made Lorenzini shirt.

Possen is proud to include the handmade Lorenzini shirts in its made-to-measure collection and invites you to taste from Italy's finest. In your meeting with one of our fashion consultants, please do not hesitate to ask for our Lorenzini-collection and they gladly share with you their passion for this wonderful atelier. Big chance they are wearing a handmade Lorenzini shirt themselves.
