Petronius1926

Almost a century ago, precisely 99 years ago, the Petronius atelier was born in Milan through the vision of Luigi Wollisch. The name of the artisan workshop is not a coincidence, but a clear and deliberate sign of distinct elegance and refinement, a tribute to the famous consul who lived in ancient Rome under the reign of Nero, known to all as a “Master of Elegance.” As further proof, the fabrics that have always been used, the manufacturing, and the creation of sewn and hand-cut ties are still done with the “Grandfather Luigi’s scissors.” Everything from Petronius 1926 refers to an irreproachable distinctive trait of exclusive craftsmanship chosen and worn by a refined, elegant, and never ostentatious clientele who love exclusive garments and refined fabrics. It is precisely this continuous search for excellence that makes Petronius 1926 a men’s accessories atelier that would achieve solid success in the 1950s. A deliberately small laboratory for a few connoisseurs who appreciate its great intrinsic value, made up of exclusive fabrics and refined manufacturing. Times and styles change, but Petronius does not betray what has always been the hallmark of the brand: excellent quality. Luigi’s descendants, now in their third generation, still maintain the Made in Italy brand's high standards through meticulous attention to design, materials, and craftsmanship. Cultural archetypes today, thanks to a focus on expressing new and necessary meanings, evolve into balanced stories, walking the line between classic and avant-garde.
