Embrace the Season: Gran Sasso's Summer Staples

Stepping into the world of Gran Sasso, we're immediately greeted by a legacy that has set the benchmark for timeless wardrobe staples. Born in the picturesque landscapes of Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata, Gran Sasso emerged in 1952, thanks to the ambitious Di Stefano brothers. Their vision transformed a small workshop into a global icon of Italian knitwear.



Gran Sasso's reputation for quality and style is built on artisanal excellence and innovative techniques. Among these is garment dyeing, a process we've previously delved into in our blog [here]. This technique gives each piece its unique character, with beautifully washed tones and a softer finish that’s as comfortable as stylish.


Today, we spotlight two standout pieces: the Polo and the T-shirt. These aren't just basics and are a testament to Gran Sasso's mastery over fabric and form. The Polo and T-shirt exemplify the brand's dedication to quality and durability. Their light, faded hues and vintage feel are perfect examples of why investing in well-crafted basics is essential.


Gran Sasso continues to innovate, ensuring each piece enhances your style and becomes a cherished part of your wardrobe. As you explore these core items, you'll appreciate how they lay the foundation for a versatile, quality-driven wardrobe.



Essentials Reimagined: The Polo and T-Shirt:

Gran Sasso Polo:

Fabric and Fit: Crafted from piqué weaved cotton, this polo promises breathable comfort and a silhouette designed to enhance any wearer's style. Its slim fit design, enhanced by banded cuffs and a classic 3-button closure, ensures a polished look that transitions seamlessly from casual to elegant settings. The collar holds its shape well, making it an excellent option for layering under a sports jacket. 


Gran Sasso has masterfully achieved the perfect balance in their garment-washed technique, a feat few brands can boast. The result is a polo that offers just the right amount of vintage charm without compromising the fabric's integrity or colour vibrancy. This nuanced approach ensures each piece retains a unique character while providing the comfort and softness garment-washing is known for. It's this careful attention to detail and quality that sets Gran Sasso apart in the realm of luxury knitwear. See video below for a close look at the saturated yet perfectly washed blue of this polo. 



Gran Sasso T-Shirt:

Material and Comfort: Crafted from a jersey cotton blend enriched with a hint of elastane, this T-shirt promises unparalleled comfort and a flawless fit. The garment-dyed technique imparts a gracefully aged hue, enhancing its appeal with deep, nuanced tones. An elegantly designed chest pocket, accented with delicately rolled edges, further complements the T-shirt’s vintage charm. This refined detail, showcasing layered and subtly textured edges, exemplifies Gran Sasso's exceptional attention to craftsmanship. You’ll feel instantly relaxed with the wide collar, and the fabric’s got just the right weight. Despite the slim fit, the soft structure breathes beautifully, keeping you feeling fresh all day.


Gran Sasso's Polo and T-shirt are more than mere basics; they are sartorial investments that enrich your wardrobe with quality, style, and Italian craftsmanship. As we gear up for summer, choosing Gran Sasso means opting for pieces that offer timeless elegance and unparalleled comfort.
