Philosophy
Their name. Their legacy.
Mantua me genuit.
Manto, the original outerwear.
Manto is Man to man.
Mantova, where the company is based in Nord of Italy, is their roots and their inspiration.
“Manto” in Italian means the cloak, the mantel, precursor of all outerwear.
Their choice is to represent subversive slow fashion. Essential, high-quality, and timeless.
Their pieces effortlessly become family heirlooms. Their tradition becomes yours: man to man.
It's not Made in Italy.
It's Fatto in Italia.
Italian couture is synonymous with artisanal and sartorial excellence. But the reality of living in the current scenario is that "Made in Italy" garments are rarely all-Italian from start to finish.
That's why they can proudly say that each and every Manto garment is "Fatto in Italia": locally sourced, sustainable, and lovingly crafted down to the last thread.
Manto brand philosophy was simple: to create outerwear based on the tradition of tailoring, incorporating techniques that they had been fortunate to absorb while apprenticing under master craftsmen.
Manufacturing is strictly and exclusively Made In Italy, in small artisanal workshops and laboratories scattered throughout Italy which today still strive to uphold the gold standard that made Italian manufacturing famous worldwide.
It's not a marketing trope.
It's just the way they roll.
Manto garments are not designed to follow the trends of the moment but to be timeless pieces, ever appropriate, always stylish. The man who wears Manto is assuredly dressed for today and tomorrow.
They gather their inspiration by responding to a mixture of retail data, historical archives, old movies and iconic pieces from the menswear lexicon.
They tweak, twist and revisit wardrobe favorites, combining the finest fabrics that the tradition of menswear has to offer, while featuring the latest technical innovations to propose a unique and indispensable blend of luxury and comfort.
