Refined Style
The design office at Mercatores creates each garment with extreme care so that our uniforms feature utmost wearability.
Creating uniforms for domestic staff was our first area of specialization at Mercatores. Our sartorial business was founded in 1943 to produce garments for staff in private homes.
Trousers and jackets for waiters, dresses and aprons for waitresses, clothes for table service, kitchen and cleaning staff, and outfits for childminders. Over the years we have dressed the domestic staff of famous personalities, from Maria Callas to Valentino. Our range includes men’s battista jackets, clothes for maids in solid colours or with small floral patterns, checked and striped cotton aprons, and much more.
Ambrogio is the name of the waiter’s jacket of the same colour. All in a wide range of colours: Mercatores was the first firm to break with the tradition of blue or black uniforms for waitresses and white jackets for waiters. We brought a breath of fresh air into the business with shades such as burgundy, English green, golden yellow, salmon, turquoise and red.
