Founded in Milan in 1892 by Giuseppe Sartori as a high-end tie shop, Altea has evolved from a textile specialist into a comprehensive luxury lifestyle brand. With its roots in fine accessories, the family-run company expanded to include scarves before establishing itself as a ready-to-wear label for both men and women. The brand’s identity is anchored in its mastery of color and its dedication to high-quality, natural materials like cashmere, silk, and fine wools. Every collection is a celebration of sophisticated, relaxed Italian elegance, designed for longevity over fleeting trends.
