Founded in 1974 by Sandro Zara, a Venetian entrepreneur passionate about textile history, Il Tabarro (under the company name Tabarrificio Veneto) is dedicated to the revival of a single, historic garment: the tabarro. Operating from Mirano, near Venice, the brand was born from Zara’s mission to save the traditional wheel-shaped cloak from obscurity after it had fallen out of use post-war. He began by researching historical archives and collecting original pieces to understand the authentic cuts and fabrics, reintroducing the garment to a modern audience. The brand’s identity is built on this singular focus, producing cloaks that are both a nod to Venetian history and a statement of timeless style.
