Luigi Bianchi Mantova
In 1898, Luigi Bianchi set off from the Italian province of Mantova bound for Turin, the storied capital of Northern Italy's tradition of master tailoring. He learned the art, and in 1911 the label now known as Lubiam was born. In the century since it’s remained a family affair, but grown from a single line to a tailoring house with two distinct imprints: the casual-cool LBM 1911, and a more classically minded offering aptly titled Luigi Bianchi Mantova. Blending exquisite fabrics and expert fabrication with razor-sharp cuts, the company’s clothing is timeless. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself passing a suit or jacket off to your son. That is, if you can bear to part with it yourself.
