Sartoria Melina

Based in Naples, Sartoria Melina is probably the only bespoke leather manufacturer in Europe and most certainly the finest one.

Its patron, Carmela Montuoro, entered the world of tailoring at very tender age, and swiftly realized that precision and attention on details is paramount. With leather there is no place for errors. Each needle point is visible and this it must be immaculate.

So, since 2010, counting thirty years of sewing and embroidery experience, Sartoria Melina is creating uniquely beautiful, exquisitely crafted bespoke leather garments for the most discerning clients, specializing in jackets and coats, made with finest hides and exotic leathers. Each piece is a true testament of top level craftsmanship.
