Maison CHAPAL, the iconic French leather brand, proudly showcases its rich history at Pitti Uomo 2025. By blending traditional French craftsmanship with modern American style, the brand creates a unique harmony between heritage and contemporary elegance.
CHAPAL’s journey dates back to the late 19th century when the brand established several tanneries in the United States. In Brooklyn, it became renowned for crafting iconic bomber jackets for U.S. Air Force pilots and rabbit leather hats. This transatlantic adventure connected CHAPAL to American culture, embracing the spirit of nature, adventure, and cinema that defined the era.
Karl Edwin Guerre brought a fresh, urban edge to CHAPAL's collections with his timeless vision. Strolling through New York streets in CHAPAL’s iconic leather jackets, he showcased their vibrancy and modern energy. His influence highlights the seamless integration of the brand’s classic pieces into the dynamic rhythm of city life.
CHAPAL exemplifies the blend of French and American influences through its collaboration with Ascot's Father Silk Collection. This partnership fuses French craftsmanship with American luxury, offering designs that are both traditional and innovative. These collections are prominently displayed in CHAPAL’s exhibit at Pitti Uomo, celebrating the synergy between heritage and modernity.
Maison CHAPAL continues to redefine men’s fashion by combining French elegance with American practicality, making it a top choice for men seeking timeless luxury with a contemporary twist.
