The Compendium

The Claudio LugliCompendium
Everything worth knowing about the printed shirt — prints, fabrics, styling, fit and care, in one place.
For over twenty years we have designed our prints in-house in London. This is the compendium behind them — everything that tells you what each print means, what it is made of, how to wear it, and how to keep it. Read, then shop with the whole story in hand.
