Ermenegildo Zegna
Luxury Italian menswear brand Ermenegildo Zegna has built up a reputation over 100 years for timeless style and a commitment to innovation.
From its origins as a wool factory in the Italian town of Trivero, Zegna has grown into an international label with a presence in more than 80 countries. Factory produced and made-to-measure suits are available, made from fine materials and all-natural fibres.
Zegna was the first luxury menswear brand to enter the Turkish market, in 1991, when it opened a store in the fashionable Nişantaşı neighbourhood. A second boutique was added in 2007 at İstinye Park, and items are also available at the prestigious Beymen department store.
In honour of its 20-year presence in Turkey, Zegna has created a limited-edition wristwatch, manufactured by the renowned Swiss company Girard-Perregaux, and a limited-edition set of cufflinks from the distinguished British accessory brand Tateossian. The sets are made of rose gold and are numbered: only five watches and five sets of cufflinks have been produced.
Certain items from the Couture collection, including suits made from extra-fine Australian wool, shirts, ties, Derby shoes and French calfskin belts, feature a special logo created to mark Zegna’s 20 years in Turkey.
In keeping with the company’s commitment to ethical business practices, the Zegna Foundation has undertaken a social responsibility project with the organisation Mika-Der to improve the lives of children living in orphanages in Turkey.
