Founded on the legacy of a family textile mill established in Biella, Italy, in 1881, Cerruti 1881 was launched as a luxury ready-to-wear house in Paris in 1967 by Nino Cerruti. With a profound understanding of fine fabrics, Cerruti, who originally trained to be a journalist, redefined menswear by introducing a softer, deconstructed silhouette that merged formal tailoring with casual ease. This innovative approach quickly established the brand as a symbol of understated European elegance, attracting a sophisticated clientele and famously employing a young Giorgio Armani in the 1960s. The house is celebrated for its mastery of textiles, producing refined menswear collections that emphasize fluid tailoring, clean lines, and a relaxed sensibility.
