Cifonelli

Cifonelli is a family-run luxury tailoring house founded in 1880 offering made-to-measure, bespoke, and ready-to-wear clothing. The house was founded by Giuseppe Cifonelli in Rome. The workshop has been located in Paris on Rue Marbeuf since 1936. The house cut of suit is characterized by a slim sleeve with a high, slightly wide armhole which ends in a thick, distinctive roll at the top of the sleevehead; the French shoulder has become synonymous with Cifonelli. Cifonelli helped popularise the raised Milanese buttonhole. Lorenzo and Massimo Cifonelli, who are cousins in the fourth-generation of the family business, took on leadership of the house in the 1990s. The garments are handmade  in the Parisian workshop.

Cifonelli CEO is Lionel Peralta.

Clients of the house have included Paul Meurisse, Lino Ventura, Marcello Mastroianni, Cary Grant, Karl Lagerfeld and François Mitterrand.

In addition to the bespoke clothing atelier on rue Marbeuf,  the brand has a ready-to-wear boutiques  in the 1st arrondissement of Paris and on Clifford Street in London.
