For this edition of Pitti Uomo, Maison CHAPAL presented a selection of pieces exploring a singular idea: luxury as rarity.

Since 1832, the House has cultivated a different relationship with creation shaped by time, material research and a deliberately limited approach to production. Every piece begins where few still work today: within the tannery at the heart of the CHAPAL Manufacture.
This season, CHAPAL unveiled a journey through exceptional craftsmanship.
The Vegetal Collection explored leather through dedicated vegetal tanning method, creating irregular reflections and depth of color.
Alongside the existing pieces of the collection, the Vegetal 3 was introduced for the first time.
Like its predecessors, it features a close-fitting silhouette and silk lining, while standing apart though its antique gold tone.
Internally, the piece is nicknamed “The Truck”, as it was originally developed for an American truck manufacturer.


The presentation continued with the Friping Collection, where specialized tanning techniques and treatments transform leather into unexpected crinkled texture inspired by a distinctly 1980s aesthetic. Through distinctive pieces such as the Bob and the Concorde, CHAPAL revealed a more expressive dimension of its savoir-faire, defined by generous volumes and oversized shoulders.


Beyond collections, the House opened the doors to its private universe: bespoke creation.
A discreet service reserved for these seeking something that cannot be found elsewhere:
unique colors developed on demand, exclusive embroideries, personalized details
and entirely custom-made garments created in close dialogue with each client.
At CHAPAL, luxury remains intimate:
crafted quietly, produced exceptionally and shared only with those who value rarity over visibility.
