Our Story

Elite Suits was founded in 1998 by master tailor Giovanni Rossi, who brought his family's three-generation legacy of Italian craftsmanship to Japan. What began as a small atelier serving discerning businessmen in Tokyo's financial district has grown into a global brand synonymous with exceptional quality and timeless elegance.

Our journey has been guided by a singular philosophy: that a truly great suit does more than just clothe a man—it empowers him, elevates his presence, and becomes an extension of his personal brand. This belief has informed every decision we've made, from the selection of our fabrics to the training of our tailors.

In 2008, we expanded beyond our original bespoke services to offer ready-to-wear collections that maintain the same uncompromising standards of quality. Today, while we embrace modern technology to enhance precision and reach customers worldwide, we remain committed to the handcrafted techniques and personal attention that have defined Elite Suits from the beginning.

Our Values

Quality Without Compromise

We believe that true quality comes from a refusal to cut corners. Every suit we create undergoes rigorous quality control, and we would rather lose a sale than compromise our standards.

Timeless Over Trendy

While we stay informed about fashion trends, our designs prioritize enduring style over fleeting fads. We create garments that will look as relevant and distinguished a decade from now as they do today.

Responsible Sourcing

We partner only with textile mills and suppliers who share our commitment to ethical production and environmental stewardship. Our materials are sourced from family-owned mills with generations of expertise.

Client Relationships

We view every customer interaction as the beginning of a long-term relationship. Our success is measured not just in sales, but in the number of clients who return year after year, generation after generation.

Our Process

01

Material Selection

We source the finest fabrics from heritage mills in Italy, Great Britain, and Japan, selecting only materials that meet our exacting standards for durability, comfort, and appearance.

02

Design & Pattern Making

Our designers and pattern makers work together to create templates that honor classic proportions while incorporating subtle modern updates for contemporary relevance.

03

Cutting & Construction

Master tailors cut each piece by hand, then assemble the garment using a combination of traditional hand-sewing techniques and precision machine work where appropriate.

04

Finishing & Quality Control

Each completed suit undergoes a rigorous 20-point inspection before it receives our stamp of approval. If any element doesn't meet our standards, the garment is remade, not repaired.
