Each of Massa Capri clothes shines thanks to the elegant preciousness of its raw materials. The most loved is the Made in Italy Linen, completely and only hand-woven. He’s the indisputed King of jackets, trousers and bermuda shorts, made with 100% Linen.
Alongside there’s the fine Made in Italy cotton sateen. Hand-printed only, it’s uniqueness resides in its extra-fine silky finish. The final touch is represented by mother-of-pearl buttons.
When creating a handmade dress, every single moment is sacred. Every perception, every gesture every touch from our craftsmen sensitive and accurate. When their expert hands meet the precious material, they handle and shape it with artistic lightness.
That’s how movements, sounds and unexpected kinds of magic are born in the laboratories, all leading to the exceptional final result. Someone wished for it, and it was made possible. But that was only possible thanks to the quality manifacture.
Massa Capri excellence was born in 1855, when Giuseppe Massa created the boutique – the most ancient one on the island – in Via Vittorio Emanuele 36. In that road where he called his luxury dresses “Tricot de Luxe”, the story of Massa Capri shined in three different centuries.
During the 20th Century, the family kept on going with passion, also caring to give the boutique a brand new energy. They wre being able to make treasure of the previous experiences while looking towards the future, following new colors and trends and, at the same time, never forgetting the original values, pillars and styles.
The same timeless style, embodied in new forms, is still by the name of Massa, keeping on going in its journey as passionate as ever.
