ABOUT US
ABOUT THE BRAND
The Brand : What We Stand For
X of Pentacles (pronounced "Ten of Pentacles") - named after the Tarot card that represents wealth and long term success- A sense of Fulfillment in having one of the most valuable things one can possess-Individuality.
In a world where everything is mass produced and everyone resembles one another...we strive to create for those who value superior quality but MUST be themselves. The only box we can be put in is our packaging :)
Working directly with fabric mills used by luxury fashion houses- we provide them with our own art prints instead of recycling the same patterns everyone else uses.
We also support Italian craftsmanship and tailoring trades. In our efforts to partner with historic bespoke tailors to produce our garments and uphold the phenomenon that is Neapolitan Tailoring. Specific to Naples, Italy - with it's own style of visually distinctive characteristics that can be easily spotted among a crowd of suits. An industry already facing it's mortality- with most tailors well into their late 60s+ and in great need of a new generation to carry on the tradition of things still made by HAND. The old school way. We like old school shit- it has soul, slight imperfections, it feels human. We love tradition and having the best of the best when it comes to quality- but without the ostentation that tends to accompany luxury goods.
Sustainable by Nature
Bespoke tailoring has historically been a sector of "sustainable fashion", before the term was coined. Utilizing natural materials and creating garments meant to last a lifetime, rather than a few seasons. We continue that mission, emphasizing quality over quantity. Our accessories follow the same route, only releasing new collections once the previous have sold out- thus reducing our carbon footprint.
We promise to always go out of our way to be thoughtful, provide personal service, and deliver you something that is truly ONE OF A KIND.
