“Instead of making several repairs, a new costume was made - The rest is history"

Rúsesti was founded in Florence in 1629

About Alberto Rúseti 

Alberto started his tailor shop in Florence in 1629, by making repairs on costumes used in the operas. He soon discovered the lack of quality in the costumes and listened to the many complaints about the costumes being uncomfortable for the singers.

On a beautiful spring morning in March 1630 he looked outside his window where a bird was singing from the trees. He said to himself "If a single bird can bring joy into the world by simply doing what is does best, so can I". He then decided to take a chance. Instead of doing several repairs on a costume for a mezzo-soprano with a challenging role, he made a whole new costume, the way it should be made.

The rest is history.

Today House of Rúseti honors the principles, that fashion is first of all is about quality and comfort bound in respect of our historical heritage. We design the future with future in mind - while we carefully listen to our legacy.
