We have always liked the way Slowear operates – slowly they brought several Italian heritage brands under their umbrella, with each brand specialized in a specific thing. Incotex will offer the perfect pair of pants, Glanshirt the perfect shirt and Montedoro will make sure that you choose the right jacket and all that in a very timeless, yet modern manner.

Slowear opened their first flagship stores, entitled “Officina Slowear”, in Tokyo and Milan and now they have just recently also invaded Paris. The store features a modern and warm design – the perfect environment for this brand line-up.

Make sure to visit on your next Paris stay. You can already take a look at the interior of the store after the jump.

Montedoro belongs to the line-up of Italy’s Slowear brands, a family of brands that we really enjoy. Much like the Slo-food movement, Slowear also goes back to the basics and concentrates on getting these right. It’s all about quality and cut.

Montedoro is an Italian company, that was founded in 1958, specializing in raincoats. In the mean time they also create other types of jackets. Montedoro can be described as a "sophisticated metropolitan reinterpretation of sportswear". We love their jackets, especially the blazers and military inspired jackets.

Montedoro will not make anybodies head turn on the street, but you as a wearer will appreciated every minute it is on you.

Italy’s Glanshirt has crafted fine mens and womens wear since he 60’s. Recently they joined the brand family over at Slowear joining the ranks of Incotex and Zanone to name two. Glanshirt’s philosophy remains. “The products, philosophy, and style of good living, are sportive but very chic, informal but sober.”
