Alberto Solana, Founder of Meriggi / Mediterranean Swimwear

Meriggi (https://meriggi.com/) is a men's resortwear brand inspired by the Mediterranean: its storied past, enduring style and unhurried pace. Their take on a day well spent includes salt in the air and a cocktail al fresco. We indulge in the occasional amenity but only ask for good company and a long summer day. We appreciate places where the jet-set feel at home and joie de vivre fills the mind. The brand makes resortwear with the Mediterranean in mind. Their garments are tailored to the local fit and make no concession when it comes to the details. The patterns and palette are reflective of landscapes and a cultural richness that truly are one-of-a-kind. And most importantly, they believe in clothing that doesn’t change by the season, but rather gets better with age. In this episode of the MenswearStyle (https://www.menswearstyle.co.uk/) Podcast we interview Alberto Solana, Founder of Meriggi about his investment banking background and his newly launched resortwear brand. Our host Peter Brooker and Alberto talk about his love for menswear, finding a gap in the market, designing a short for all occasions, learning from mistakes, and dealing with overseas manufacturers.
