The history of Sartoria Modolo in Orani, at the heart of Sardinia, begins with the determination of the founder Paolo Modolo, who at the age of 11 undertook a six-year apprenticeship. In 1962 he opened his own business, but after starting a family he also had to work as a miner for 22 years. Today Modolo tailoring is internationally renowned for its made-to-measure suits, for men and women, for ceremonies and grooms. Paolo and his son Francesco master a rigorous handmade production of pieces inspired by the Sardinian tradition. Their tailoring hints in particular at the tradition of the Barbagia shepherd and the typical fabrics of the area: velvet, corduroy and orbace (coarse wool). “For us velvet is a second skin,” says Paolo. Francesco and his cousin Salvatore Borrotzu carry on the tailoring craft with Paolo, and the third generation is ready with Emma, Francesco's daughter.
