In 1898, 16-year-old Luigi Bianchi set off from the Italian province of Mantova bound for Turin, the storied capital of northern Italy's tradition of master tailoring.

By 1911, hed founded his own label now known as Lubiam and began designing luxury mens clothing.

Bianchi's company remains a family affair, but has evolved from a single line into a tailoring house with two distinct imprints: the casual-cool LBM 1911, and a more classically minded offering aptly titled Luigi Bianchi Mantova.

Blending exquisite fabrics and expert fabrication with razor-sharp cuts, the companys clothing includes canvassed suits, impeccable coats and blazers, and sportswear made to last.
