THE ART OF CAPRI CHIC: WHY LABORATORIO CAPRI DEFINES THE NEW ERA OF QUIET LUXURY05-02-2026 in The quiet luxury of Capri

There is an invisible thread that connects the icons of the past—from Jackie O’ to the timeless elegance of Aristotele Onassis—to today’s most discerning connoisseurs. It is not a matter of logos; it is the tactile poetry of a hand-cut silhouette, the structural perfection of a bespoke cotton trouser, and that vibrant chromatic palette reflected only in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Welcome to the world of Laboratorio Capri, where the Esposito family’s sartorial heritage transforms the concept of resort wear into a permanent experience of Alta Moda.

The Esposito Legacy: A Dynasty of Capri Craftsmanship

In the pulsating heart of Capri, just steps from the legendary Piazzetta, stands an atelier that serves as a sanctuary for artisanal secrets passed down through generations. Founded on the vision of Gigino and Marialuisa , Laboratorio Capri is the quintessential bridge between the Golden Age of 1950s tailoring and a contemporary aesthetic tailored for the world’s most sophisticated travelers.

The Icon: The Essential Capri Cotton Trouser

While the world of fast fashion fades, Laboratorio Capri remains steadfast in its devotion to the fatto a mano. The cornerstone of this elegance is undoubtedly our signature Capri trouser.

Unlike generic alternatives, our trousers are crafted from the finest Italian cotton, chosen for its crisp structure and impeccable breathability. They represent more than just clothing; they are a tribute to the island’s sartorial history—designed with a precise cut that offers both comfort for a stroll via Camerelle and the sharp sophistication required for an evening at the Yacht Club.

Why "Capri Style" is the Ultimate Wardrobe Investment

  • Archival Prints: Our silks and cottons often feature exclusive patterns inspired by the island’s mid-century glamour.

  • Authentic Tailoring: Every seam speaks to the dedication of master tailors working within our boutique, ensuring a fit that no industrial process could ever replicate.

  • Understated Exclusivity: From deconstructed jackets to flowing chemisiers, each piece is designed for those who prefer to be noticed for their elegance rather than their labels.

The Boutique Experience: Beyond Transactional Luxury

Stepping into Laboratorio Capri is an invitation to slow down. It is an immersive journey where clients are guided through textures and cuts to curate a wardrobe that is uniquely theirs. For those currently away from the Blue Grotto, our digital boutique offers a rigorous curation, delivering a fragment of Caprese enchantment directly to the world’s most prestigious residences.


"True luxury never shouts. It whispers the elegance of a conscious choice."
