Historic ateliers, such as Attolini, Guadagni, Isaia, and Gianni Volpe, rely on artisans who craft garments without straying from ancient standards, and even new-generation workshops like Kiton, Borrelli, and Sartoria Partenopea are no less devoted to honoring tradition.
A classic that cannot be missing from the elegant man’s wardrobe are the Marinella ties, the small shop on the Riviera di Chiaia, a benchmark of international fashion and beloved by heads of state, sports figures, and entertainers alike.
But beyond the addresses of elegance, Naples also boasts a wealth of curious and, in some respects, unique shops, such as L’Ospedale delle Bambole on Via San Biagio dei Librai, where, since the 1800s, skilled artisan hands give new life to dolls and teddy bears worn by time, using needle, thread, and old sewing machines.
