In 1934, brothers Giovanni and Giacomo Canali established an artisan workshop in Triuggio, Brianza, to produce high quality clothing.
In the 1950s, the second generation of the family took over the running of the firm, consolidating its presence in the Italian market and increasing sales volume and product quality. In the mid-1970s, the company rose to the challenge of international markets, and by 1980 was exporting 50% of its production. The company now exports 85% of production.
In the tradition of great suit-makers, Canali provides bespoke services to aficionados of its products.
What do they offer
Cost of indulgence: Though prices vary from one suit to another and depend upon factors such as type of material and the cut, etc., Canali made-to-measure suits range from Rs 1.25 lakh onwards
Separately, the company also offers a special R 30 service where the client can walk into any of the boutiques across India, look up a guide book, and then choose the fabric, the colour and the model of the suit he wants stitched for himself.
Where can you order it
A Canali made-to-measure suit can be ordered at any of the company’s boutiques in Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
What can you choose
A made-to-measure suit offers one a chance to express himself by creating his own look, choosing the cut, fabric and colour for the suit. After the first stage of choosing the material, the master fitter and the customer work together keeping in mind the body type and personality to ensure that the cut chosen is most appropriate for him and fits perfectly.
How long does it take
Canali takes 45-60 days to deliver a made-to-measure suit.
