Pre-washed Belgian linen
A breathable mid-weight linen, washed before cutting so the cloth never tightens against the body. It softens further with every wear.
True to size, with a relaxed Mediterranean silhouette. The shirt sits a half-size oversized — wear it open or button it through, both work. The shorts fall just above the knee. If you are between sizes, our recommendation is to size down; the linen softens and gives a little with wear.
Cold gentle wash, inside out, with similar colors. Hang to dry in the shade — never tumble dry. Linen has a memory; the dryer is harder on it than the wear of a hundred summers. The print is reactive-dyed into the fibre, not applied on top, so it will not crack, fade, or peel.
Cut and sewn in Guangzhou, in a small atelier that specializes in linen. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — tested for harmful substances and approved for direct skin contact. Every garment is washed, finished, and inspected before it leaves the workshop.
Yes. The Jaffa drop is the first chapter of the Grand Tour Collection, limited to 300 pieces. Once a size sells out, it will not be restocked. The next chapters — Athens, Cairo, Venice — arrive in their own seasons.

Linen should remember where it came from. Ours carries the Old City — every wave, every arch, every stone that has stood through the long summer of years.
I started Casa Valenti because the clothes I wanted to wear didn't exist — or, if they did, they were priced for people who already had everything.
This is a small house. Made with extreme care, Made slowly. Here is what we believe.
Every garment carries a real city. Not a logo, not a print pulled from a stock library — an architectural drawing, made by hand, of a place we have actually walked. Jaffa first. Then Athens. The rest are a secret.
We work in linen because linen is the cloth of the Mediterranean. We pre-wash it, so it never tightens. We finish it with French seams and coconut shell buttons — so the inside is as careful as the outside. This is how houses with hundred-year reputations make their clothes.
A Casa Valenti shirt is meant to be worn for a decade. Linen softens with every wash. The print is dyed into the fibre, so it cannot crack or peel. We are making clothes that get better with time, not worse — in a season when most clothes are made to last six months.
Each city drop is limited to three hundred pieces. When a size sells, we do not restock. This is mostly because we believe that what is rare is worth more.

Hand-finished coconut shell — each button carries its own grain, the way a thumbprint is its own. Sewn through with cream cotton thread.

Drawn by hand, then printed directly into the fibre — not on top of it. The Jaffa cityscape lives in the cloth itself, in golden ochre, panel by panel.
