There is absolutely nothing that smells like good old fashion money thansomething from Brioni. I wish you all could have been there when Ifirst saw this gorgeous Brioni Frenchcuff size 15 1/2 dress shirt at the thrift store. I saw the labelBrioni tailored in Italy for Neiman Marcus and I couldn’t shake mygrin. Brioni, a heavenly archipelago facing the Istrian coast, waftingin the intense fragrances of Mediterranean vegation. Along its gentleslopes, deer still roam free among the ruins of Roman and Byzantinevillas. Brioni, once a paradise for the jet set of antiquity, foundits lure again in the early 1900’s as it welcomed the elite of Europewho sought an exclusive site to golf, go horse back riding and playpolo. Can you smell the money now? Nazareno Fonticoli (a tailor inthe ancient city of Penne in the Abruzzo Region of Italy) and theentrepreneur Gaetano Savini founded the Brioni tailor shop in viaBarberini in Rome. It was here that the dream of Italian high fashionfor men took shape, a blend of technical and stylistic excellence.Brioni suits can sale for up to over $5,000 and shirts range anywherefrom $450 – 600 retail. The price tag was $4.29 and then I realizedit was half off day!!!
I know I still have that grin on my face. Don’t forget to check out The Thrifters Boutique located on top right corner and follow me on Twitter & Facebook. Toodles for now. Daniel
