Brand Story

Mathieu Castanier MC

The Art of Bespoke Tailoring

 

At the crossroads of tradition and innovation, Mathieu Castanier MC embodies the finest heritage of bespoke tailoring. My journey began on Savile Row, the legendary London street where the codes of English tailoring were defined, and was further shaped in Naples, where Italian masters taught me the art of fluid, effortless elegance.

The Savile Row Heritage

Savile Row is known as the birthplace of bespoke tailoring — a world of precision, structure, and discipline. Trained by master tailors on this historic street, I learned the importance of construction, balance, and the pursuit of perfection in every stitch. Each suit here is more than clothing; it is an emblem of status and timeless English refinement.

The Neapolitan School

In contrast to English structure, the Neapolitan tailoring school introduced me to lightness, freedom, and natural elegance. With soft shoulders (spalla camicia), high armholes, barchetta breast pockets, and unpadded jackets, Neapolitan tailoring celebrates movement and comfort. Masters such as Vincenzo Attolini inspired me to design garments that are as comfortable as they are refined.

Two Worlds, One Vision

Today, my creations combine the discipline of Savile Row with the ease of Naples. This dual heritage allows me to offer bespoke suits that are both impeccably structured and naturally comfortable, tailored to the rhythm of modern life. Every garment is a unique journey — from precise measurement to fabric selection, through fittings that respect individuality and movement.

“A bespoke suit is not only a garment; it is an extension of one’s personality and lifestyle.”

Choosing Mathieu Castanier MC is an invitation to discover a bespoke process rooted in tradition yet open to innovation. Each suit reflects the values I absorbed in London and Naples: precision, creativity, and authenticity. From the first consultation to the final pressing, I ensure that each client receives not only a suit, but a story of heritage and craftsmanship — crafted exclusively for them.
