Gutteridge
Gutteridge is an Anglo-Italian menswear brand characterized by a fusion of traditional British tailoring and Neapolitan craftsmanship. Its aesthetic emphasizes classic elegance, structured silhouettes, and refined textiles. The brand represents a conservative sartorial ethos rooted in European heritage and the historical exchange between English fabric traditions and Italian design.
History
Founded in 1878 by Michael Gutteridge in Naples, the company initially operated as an import house for high-quality British fabrics. It established a presence in the historical Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano, becoming a fixture of Neapolitan commerce. In 1997, the brand was acquired by the Capri Group, which expanded its retail footprint while maintaining its historical identity. Gutteridge serves as a notable example of the nineteenth-century commercial integration between British textile merchants and Italian tailoring houses.
