The Art of Our Craft

Made entirely by hand in our very own workshop in Naples, Italy, our jackets and accessories are elevated by handcraft of the highest order.

Over 80 Hours of Work in Each Jacket

The making of a single jacket can take up to ten master craftsmen and 80 hours of devoted labour. Their passion, precision and generational expertise are ingrained in every stitch.

Cut by Hand

Bespoke cutting is an art form mastered only over years of practice. Each piece that leaves our workshop has been lovingly cut by hand to ensure the integrity of the leather and the lines of the jacket are fluid and flattering.

Stitched by Hand

Working with only a needle and thread, our craftspeople stitch jackets together entirely by hand. Thousands of stitches, each with millimetre precision, are the hallmarks of handcrafted beauty in each jacket.

Finished by Hand

Every detail in every jacket is distilled to the point of perfection. Finished with hand-sewn buttonholes, pick-stitched edges and hand-attached linings, we compromise on nothing, which elevates our jackets to extraordinary.

Guided by a Philosophy of Exceptionalism

A philosophy of exceptionalism is the art of surpassing the expected. It’s the pursuit of perfection in every nuance, a promise to elevate the ordinary to extraordinary.

Materials of Distinction Meet Masterful Craft

Each piece we craft is a marriage of material and masterful craft. We work exclusively with the worlds best tanneries who produce leathers especially for us and ensure each piece is certified for provenance and quality.

Our Workshop

Rifugio is proudly Italian, and every piece is crafted in our family-owned workshop in Naples. Here, each jacket is brought to life under the expert eye of master tailor Alfredo Rifugio. Nothing is outsourced — every detail and every step is handled in-house — a testament to our commitment to true Italian craftsmanship.
