Based in Pieve Santo Stefano (Arezzo region), Gherardi S.r.l. is a family-run company rooted in Italian craftsmanship since 1970. In the early 2000s, Alessandro Gherardi acquired the business during a period of financial difficulty and restructured it with a focus on putting people first. By reconnecting with local artisans—experienced seamstresses and embroiderers—he preserved and passed on a unique heritage of craftsmanship that remains at the heart of the company today. In 2026, Gherardi S.r.l. acquired a new factory to ensure a higher level of service for its partners and to safeguard jobs for several families in the region. This human-centered approach is complemented by continuous investment in technology and innovation. Today, Gherardi produces over 400,000 shirts annually, combining artisanal expertise with modern efficiency through its own brand and partnerships with leading international fashion houses. A true expression of Made in Italy, the company is deeply focused on product excellence and long-term production stability.

Alessandro Gherardi’s collection begins with the shirt featuring hand-finished details, a symbol of the brand’s sartorial heritage and authentic Italian craftsmanship, preserved and passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Alongside this tradition, the most requested product is the machine-made shirt developed according to sartorial construction techniques. This approach ensures a perfect, precise fit and comfort while refined details enhance their overall elegance. The company collaborates with renowned fabric suppliers such as Albini, Thomas Mason, DJA, Carlo Riva, and Reda, ensuring a superior feel when worn.

Alessandro Gherardi as a brand was established in the early 2000s and has built its reputation internationally through competitive products. The brand offers a wide selection of models and fabrics, designed to meet a variety of customer needs and services, including always-in-stock shirts, a 20-day reorder system to replenish sold-out items, and a made-to-measure service for fully customized solutions. Design has also become a key strength of the brand, which—combined with high-quality production—has supported its continuous growth over the years. Its core values are product excellence, service, and customer-centered approach.
