CERRUTI

Cerruti 1881, which began in Paris in 1967, was established as CERRUTI’s core line for men’s ready-to-wear. Centered on high-quality materials, precise tailoring, and functional design, it holds a position that most directly expresses the brand’s fundamentals and became the reference point for the later spin-off lines Cerruti 1881 Brothers, Cerruti Arte, and Cerruti Jeans. It is also the starting point for the brand’s expansion into fragrances and leather goods.

A knitwear, shirt, and casual line launched by Hitman in 1975, it covered the more everyday-oriented men's segment within Cerruti 1881. Rather than replacing the tailoring-focused main line, it offered clothing designed with ease of movement and a wide range of occasions in mind. Distinct from the later Cerruti Arte and Cerruti Jeans, it complemented the brand with a practical casual style.

A line that began in 1995 as womenswear prêt-à-porter, it was introduced as a distinct direction for womenswear expression in contrast to Cerruti 1881’s menswear-focused offering. Official records place it in the Top Designer segment, and Narciso Rodriguez was involved in its early stages, followed by Peter Speliopoulos. Separate from everyday extension lines such as Brothers and Jeans, it was responsible for womenswear design proposals within the brand.

A denim-focused line added in 1995 for younger customers, it broadened the reach of Cerruti 1881 with jeans at its core. While Cerruti’s main line centered on high-quality materials and precise tailoring, this line served to connect the brand with more casual everyday wear for both men and women. With Brothers serving as the practical menswear line and Arte as the womenswear line, Jeans functioned as an entry point for younger customers.
