The Company
Our Purpose
The Metro-Mediterranean mindset is both a reality and dream. It’s the reality of everything that is attendant to living in a large metropolis, and imagining the Mediterranean as a temporary escape. It’s a daydream in color, where your senses are entranced, serenity is palpable, and you are justified in taking time to waste a moment. This is the Metro-Mediterranean mindset, and these are the moments we create for.
Our Approach
We design our products to tell a story, so that when you wear them, you are transported from your metropolitan life to a Mediterranean escape. We do this by drawing from experience, both personal and professional, and by adhering to our three values of product, people, and planet.
Our Values
Our values are the cornerstone of everything that we do. They are so central to our identity, that we decided to carve them in stone by representing them in our logo.

Austin & Paul
Austin and Paul perceived that the codes of luxury craftsmanship that define bespoke menswear were absent from the womenswear market. They launched Passeggiata with a collection of the finest silk scarfs to bridge this gap, and have plans to introduce bespoke quality women’s tailoring in the near future.
