The leading Neapolitan tailors have been working in or around Napoli for decades and continue this art on their own territory. Neapolitan tailoring is still done in Naples, it was born on Neapolitan soil and is still done by Neapolitan hands. "Made in Napoli" is therefore still known worldwide for unparalleled style, class, elegance and craftsmanship.
Velloro believes strongly in a handmade refinished shirt. Some parts are made by machine for extra strength, others by hand for extra comfort, elegance and appearance. The buttons, mouche and arm hold are made by hand with every single stitch.

A high quality mother of pearl button can only be sewn by hand using the ancient "Lilly Stich” or Zampa di Gallina technique. This sewing technic, with its characteristic shape, is not only pleasing to the eye, but also guarantees strength to the button itself.
This small reinforcement triangle is sewn by hand on two sides of the shirt. On the bottom, close to the seam that joins the front to the back, to ensure greater strength is also a real signature of elegance and beauty.
The Australian mother of pearl is derived from the Pinctada Maxima shell, harvested and bred in the pristine water of Australia.
