OUR STORY

Our vision for Five Forty is simple: to create pieces that are made with intention, priced fairly and crafted by artisans we trust and respect. For us, it’s more than just fashion - it’s about bringing Italian craftsmanship and quality to every step, from the first sketch to the final product.

When you wear Five Forty, you’re wearing a piece of our story, our values, and the dedication of skilled Italian artisans. Every stitch and every detail reflects our commitment.
