Preparation, passion and a desire to do the work that you love. Those in the Sartoria Vergallo team have chosen to be here and not elsewhere. Each one of them is different - in their dialect, age and specialisation - but all of them have renounced other jobs and other “careers” because what makes them work with a smile on their faces is precisely this profession. It’s an approach to work that is strange in these times, to give up your “career” in order to do what you like. Yet it is precisely this that binds
the Sartoria Vergallo team and what makes it special. In a very human and peaceful atmosphere, what is normally called productivity in the industry here is called quality. Tailoring is a job done by people, by artisans who share, who teach each other and exchange work, each to his/her skill, without individualism. And they are happy about this. How do you know this? From the fact that when they work, they smile.
“the passion? One of my workers when he was 16 asked for a very special birthday present. Everyone thought it was going to be a moped: he asked for a sewing machine.”
Mariangela - the business affairs pass through her hands and the welcome through her smile.
-
FRANCESCA - new generation and dedicated apprentice, because young tailoring is the real revolution.
MARCO - for his birthday he asked for a sewing machine, not a moped.
BARBARA - Gianni wins the tailor contest in Pippo Baudo’s “Numero Uno” making a pair of socks in six minutes. The following day Barbara asks to meet Gianni and learn the secret. She did.
BENITO - you can be a tailor forever, he has had a needle in his hand since he was six years old. Today he is 72.
RINA - the first pair of trousers by Vergallo was made by her. Today she can boast of another ten thousand.
