Heritage
Caruso's story begins in 1958, when Raffaele Caruso, a master tailor from Naples, brought his sartorial savoir-faire to Soragna, near Parma. From a small atelier, the house established itself over time as one of the defining names in Italian tailoring. After the founder's passing, Umberto Angeloni, former CEO of Brioni, took the reins, steering the company toward a contemporary and international vision. Today, under the direction of Marco Angeloni, Caruso continues to evolve, weaving together tradition and innovation while consolidating its dual identity: a refined menswear brand and a manufacturing partner for some of the world's most prominent fashion houses. In this ongoing evolution, Caruso recently announced the transfer of ownership from Lanvin Group to MondeVita Italy Srl, part of Mondevo Group, an international investment holding backed by private capital with a long-term outlook.
Soragna
Caruso's home in Soragna is more than a factory: it is where craftsmanship and innovation meet. Surrounded by the beauty of Emilia, among castles, opera houses and the spirit of Verdi, Soragna embodies the soul of Caruso: a place where the Italian art of living meets sartorial mastery. More than 450 artisans work here, preserving a unique savoir-faire while embracing ongoing research into fabrics, proportions and construction.
Playful Elegance
Through its Playful Elegance, Caruso is more than a brand: it is a community of men who live beauty and refinement as part of everyday life. For over sixty years, it has remained true to the principles of Italian tailoring, reinterpreted with ease and lightness, crossing generations and borders. Featured in leading international publications, the brand is worn by actors, creatives and tastemakers who embody a discreet, understated elegance. From its Milan showroom, Caruso reaches the world. Its pieces are carried by the finest boutiques and the most curated multi-brand retailers globally. This is Made in Italy in its most authentic expression: in savoir-faire, creativity and sophistication, interpreted today by international personalities and tastemakers.
The Jacket
At the heart of the Caruso universe is the jacket, the symbol of its philosophy. Handmade and fully canvassed, with an internal horsehair structure that gives form and shape, adapting over time to the body for a truly personalised fit. A natural construction that delivers comfort, lightness and timeless elegance. More than a garment, the jacket is an expression of confidence, refinement and ease.
