OUR SHOP'S HISTORY
The boutique Saint Frusquin was born about forty years ago in Geneva thanks to an idea, avant-garde for the time, of Ms. Maulini. Initially, the work revolved around selling high-quality new women's clothing and reselling second-hand items of the same level. In the second part of the nineties, the current owner of the company began to provide the shop with Italian dresses for women and later, evening wear. Due to a growing demand for the rental of men's tuxedos for weddings, the shop took its first steps in ceremonial and wedding clothing. Starting from an offer of just over five Tuxedos, she came to have a hundred tuxedos available around 2010.
Humberto Jimenez took over the shop from that moment following the retirement of Ms. Maulini. Jimenez at the time had more than thirty years of experience in the fashion industry, a factor that characterized the new direction by introducing a new philosophy. Luxury in rentals for weddings and ceremony. With this brilliant idea, He brought to the store in Geneva the best fabrics made in Italy. The making of clothes for the
Rental: Black tie, Tuxedo, Tailcoat, white tie, morning suit,
and casual tux, tuxedo or black tie was order to true and pure craftsmen who shared the same philosophy of luxury, paying obsessive attention to the finishes and details of each model.
Following this philosophy, other garments, such as shirts for example, we make do this one in pure Egyptian cotton, woven in Italy, and made by the same type of craftsmen. The same goes for our shoes, finished by hand. It is just to list, our added value. In any case, our philosophy is therefore based on authenticity and perfection of the artisan touch.
