Barbuti is the Italian menswear brand for those who seek quality and style without compromise. A hundred years of sartorial experience in the production of top quality clothing makes the Maison a reference point for the excellence of its creations and attention to design and detail. The brand takes its name from an ancient district in the historical centre of the Principality of Salerno, named after the long beard typical of the Lombard warriors who settled in the city in the seventh century AD. Here, at the beginning of the 20th century, Cesare Marzullo started the production and trade of high quality textiles. Now in its third generation, the family tailoring tradition is carried on with an undiminished passion for excellence. The ‘Barbuti“ collections are emblazoned with a hippocampus that has always been considered an incomparable good luck amulet: wearing an image of it was considered a good omen, and paintings of it can be found on the outside walls of many houses in Pompeii to attract good fortune.
