TSC trip #012 took Andy and Michèle (@styleafter50 and @mrsstyleafter50) to Bergamo and the world of Thomas Mason.

This historic textile brand, founded in 1796, is known for its exquisite shirting fabrics. The visit showcased their dedication to quality, from sourcing premium cottons to the intricate weaving process. The Thomas Mason archive, filled with historical patterns, proved a highlight, with many Victorian designs feeling surprisingly modern.

Bergamo's blend of old and new provided a fitting backdrop for this brand steeped in heritage and craftsmanship—a legacy woven into every thread.

The inspiration behind Micky came from noticing the superior quality, fit, and style of men's shirts compared to women's. After 20+ years in Pret-a-Porter, she connected with renowned Parisian bespoke shirt maker Daniel Lévy to create something unique: a design for women who seek a balance of luxury and comfort. By redefining the meaning of shirts, Micky offers timeless elegance with a modern touch, adopting a lifestyle that values quality, sustainability, and subtle sophistication.
