Gessato is the Italian term for “pinstripe.” More than a reference to our Mediterranean roots, the word evokes ideas of beauty and fascination. It’s sophisticated yet playful, recasting the notion of luxury as an effortless sense of elegance. Gessato is a lifestyle that defines its existence through both passion and finesse. It makes one think of style and sailboats, but also the small things in life, the finest of lines. Pronounced with a soft “g” like “gelato,” “Gessato” is about the little details that dot the way in our far-reaching pursuit of perfection.
