The Italians

All the high-end italian menswear brands seem to be doing the same thing. They have a discreet notice in the window advertising their sale but none of their pieces are marked up. Basically everything (except their made-to-measure services) is at a considerable discount.

Corneliani

Corneliani, New Bond Street, London

 

Some of the best menswear ever made. Picks in this sale have to be the shirts and the suits. In shirts, particularly the Corneliani ID range (their younger menswear range) are very fine this season, relaxed casual style with the beautiful fabrics and tailoring that Corneliaini excel in. The suits are even better. Corneliani are currently working a late 40′s Milan/Rome look, with wide lapels, a soft but noticeable curve on the shoulder and a number of three-piece suits in sumptuous fabrics. Suits are around £1,500.00 non-sale, so 30% off that will work out to be quite a saving.

Canali

 Some very good bargains in the new Canali flagship store. Some very fine jackets in wool and silk, and their beautifully made suits. Topcoats here are interesting and different, including Canali’s Italian take on duffel-coats, in both wool and synthetics. Canali also now have a made-to-measure service, with prices starting at around £1,500.00 (depending on fabric and requirmenets). A good sale, the suits and topcoats have to the pick here.

Eterno

One of my favourite shirt shops in London, the Salerno-based Eterno.  Eterno are about to undertake a major refurbishment of their store in Conduit Street, off Bond Street, so are having a refurbishment sale.  In terms of discounts this is the best sale I have found yet.  Their beautiful and flamboyant shirts, in wonderful Italian fabrics, are selling for £60.00 (2/3 off).  Their hand-finished Italian shoes are selling at £90.00.  Do not miss this sale, they are pretty much giving it away.

Victorinox

Just across the border in Switzerland, Victorinox have moved from knoves and watches into being a vertically integrated Swiss lifestyle brand.  Their sale includes their casual range, including their shiny, military-influenced parkas, as well as their knitwear and polo shirts.

Tateossian

Npw we are really moving further afield.  Tateossian (I think they are Armenian originally?) are having a sale.  Apologies for the poor quality of the photograph but it was a reminder that they have discounts on their very manly, chunky cufflinks.  This shop is in Conduit Street like Eterno.  So you can get your shirts and cufflinks in one easy stroll.
