About Us
What is "The Embassy For You"?
The Embassy For You selects and distributes the highest quality Italian shirting and suiting fabrics to tailors and retailers all over the world.
This project is animated by the wish to represent a tribute to the art of the Italian elegance: a new and exclusive ambassador for the most refined textile and tailoring culture.
Our mission is to select and promote the best and the most prestigious Italian excellences worldwide, representing them in a jewel box of never-ending experiences and ancient traditions, proposed to tailors with a qualified support.
We don’t just sell fabrics, we develop an ongoing relationship with our customers, based on consultancy and sharing common values.
Our Expertise
One of our biggest strengths is our expertise. Our team is composed of extremely competent and experienced individuals who worked in the textile, tailoring and fashion industry for decades, working for some of the most prestigious Italian textile brands such as Zegna, Testa, and Thomas Mason.
Our tradition is grounded in the Italian textile and tailoring world. Our parents were tailors, and our grandparents and great-grandparents as well. We grew up playing under the sewing machine of our parents and we were used to distinguishing all the different types of fabrics since we were children.
Thanks to our several years’ experience and our intense passion, we gained a wide knowledge and competence of the textile world and we can understand extremely well the needs of every tailor.
This is an old picture of the grandfather of Elena, our CEO. He was the greatest tailor in his town in the North-East Italy, and he sewed the uniforms of the soldiers in the Second World War. His father was a tailor as well, and all his daughters became tailors, including the mother of Elena, our CEO.
Our Customers
We have the honor of working with some of the greatest and most talented tailors and retailers around the world. Most of our customers are located in Doha, Kuwait City, Karachi, Lahore, Singapore, New Delhi, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Rome, therefore we often do business trips in these cities, visiting our clients. Nevertheless, we have customers from many other places.
Our fabrics have been worn by Hollywood stars, members of royal families and international entrepreneurs.
