Barena

Motivated by the traditional textiles in his hometown of Venice, Sandro Zara founded Barena in 1961 taking style inspiration from the town's rural inhabitants. Today, Barena maintains the fabric-first ethos it was founded upon through traditional tailoring and contemporary design in a low-key colour palette. The silhouettes and materials create an easy-to-wear aesthetic that the creative director, Massimo Pigozzo, describes as, "not sporty, not classic, it’s a mix of them all.”
