FRAY | BOOTH 3100

Fray has been producing luxury Made-in-Italy shirting since 1962. The firm believes that a quality shirt comes from perfection in every detail; each collar and cuff should be finished to the customer’s exact requirements (soft or stiff, using the exclusive “turnover” technique). The pieces are then attached to the shirt’s body using the traditional set-in method. The brand can meet almost any request: lined fronts for lighter fabrics, elaborate initials and emblems all rigorously embroidered by hand. All stitching is performed with special ultra-fine needles that allow up to 10 stitches per centimeter, resulting in a more finished look for the shirt.

Fugàto comes from the heart of Puglia, a land rich in history and style, where eight-year-old Antonio Paparella began his journey into artisanal tailoring.

With the entry of the founder’s sons into the company, Paparella was renewed, focusing decisively on international markets. Distribuzione tessile and the Fugàto brand were born — symbols of quality, innovation, and Italian style in the high-end fashion sector.
