In 1904 Anna Borrelli began working in her aunt's men shirts workroom, where she learned the art of tailoring fashion items, an art made of details such as a perfect "mouche", the stitching of the collar or the famous Neapolitan wrinkled shirt.
With care, skill and inventiveness Anna in 1928 manages to open a small workshop for a small number of "loyal" customers, in the '40s she was joined by his son Luigi, whom she hands down all the secrets of the trade. With Luigi the family business began to grow by focusing exclusively on the obsessive attention to the processing of the products, still today, Luigi tells about the times in which he observed the details of competitors' products promptly "studied" and put in production.
It has to be remembered, however, that they were years of great confidence in the "industrial product", nevertheless, in counter tendency, the activities are developing, in 1957 he founded the "Luigi Borrelli" as the first germ of industrial workshop.
