Enrico Isaia

Isaia

Enrico Isaia established the Naples fabric business from which ISAIA developed in the 1920s. Its origins in supplying cloth to local tailors help explain the house’s emphasis on textiles and construction. The business later moved to Casalnuovo, where Neapolitan tailoring traditions became the foundation of its clothing production.
