The Beginning
Born in Geneva into an Italian family, I remember our Sunday lunches, and especially my grandfather with his elegant shirts and beard, always perfectly groomed. These moments, etched into my memory, will serve as the cornerstone for Recall Clothing...
Before discovering where those memories will take me, I struggled to define my personal style, just like many of us. Seeking out garments of quality rather than quantity, I gradually distanced myself from the realm of the fast fashion. Then, one Saturday, I entered a store and decided to try on a cotton shirt produced by the iconic Cone Mills factory. Little did I know, this simple act would transform my life entirely.
The Creation of Recall Clothing
Ever since then, I've dedicated a significant portion of my free time to researching extraordinary brands, all the while keeping my grandfather's memories close to heart.
It took me nearly four years to establish Recall Clothing: honouring my grandfather and collaborating with those who craft items inspired by the past shaped my vision and solidified my decision to open my boutique. When I put on authentic clothing brimming with emotions, it instantly transports me to moments spent with him and his keen eye for detail. It's at these times that I truly appreciate the significance of my work.
Among the various items gathered on this journey, this Cone Mills shirt stands out as a significant piece. It's not just a clothing item, but a representation of my story and vision.
The Vision: reconnecting with fashion steeped in history
In an age when mass production dictates fashion, finding high-quality, ethical pieces is a real challenge. Yet many people seek to wear clothes that reflect not only their style, but also their core values.
Recall Clothing exists in order to restore our connection to authentic products and to pay homage to passionate artisans and designers, those who breathe soul and history into every creation.
It's my vision that Recall Clothing becomes a haven for genuine apparel in Geneva, offering a friendly space for you to uncover new treasures and engage with fellow customers who share the same values.
The Mission: for you to feel it !
Above all, my main goal is for you to feel.
Let the touch of a fabric transport you to cherished memories or boost your self-assurance.
My store and I exist to empower you by taking you back to a time when clothes were made with a purpose beyond just profit.
I prioritize natural fabrics and encourage dressing to reflect your true self.
My store and I exist for the modern nostalgic. The one that wants to buy less, but better quality.
My store and I exist for the one who wants to transmit his cherished heirloom onto his children's. An act that resonates the true definition of timelessness.
