Terminology
The name of the brand is based on the designer's expertise, on the one hand, 'tailoring' (Sarto) and, on the other hand, 'writing' and 'drawing' (graph). We created this name believing that tailoring techniques can be a fruitful resource for both communication of knowledge and creative expression.
