Fabric Tales - The camel overcoat of the last Prince of Sansevero

A small piece of fabric can hold the story of an entire life. In 1860, among the pages we can probably trace back to Savile Row’s Henry Poole, a “Brown Camel Hair” appears, purchased by “Prince of Sansevero”. Behind this order is Michele di Sangro, the 11th and last Prince of San Severo. A man who, after a personal misfortune, would find new interests in England, new relationships and maybe even a new way of looking towards the future. This small swatch of fabric is still preserved in the Vitale Barberis Canonico Archives. However, of the overcoat it belonged to, all trace has been lost.
