For the launch of Tatras’ second ‘Pearl’ episode, we spoke with Italy’s commercial director Giacomo Serrati, to uncover more about this pearl-white capsule collection, inspired by the refined luster and timeless allure of pearls.

How do the three countries (Japan, Italy, and Poland) influence the design, materials, and production of TATRAS pieces? What does the logo represent in the cultural narrative?

TATRAS design embodies a perfect alchemy of cultures: the minimalist aesthetics and constant pursuit of quality in Japanese culture meet the excellence of Italian taste, famous for its premium fabrics, while Polish craftsmanship brings precision and mastery in down-filled techniques. These combined influences give life to garments that represent modern elegance, continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and quality. The logo of the three crosses symbolizes this cultural convergence, embodying the brand’s philosophy of elegance, quality, and innovation.

 

 

What strengths have allowed TATRAS to become so deeply rooted despite its relative newness? What is the secret to its rapid success?

TATRAS has quickly made a name for itself with a winning combination: constant innovation, impeccable quality, and a distinctive design. The brand celebrates a unique balance between timeless craftsmanship and a contemporary vision. Participation in international fashion weeks and a careful, selective distribution strategy have further strengthened its global presence, transforming the excellence of its garments into highly prized products worldwide.

 

 

How would you describe the typical TATRAS customer, and what values do they represent in the context of fashion?

The TATRAS customer is sophisticated, independent, and values quality without being brand-driven. They seek versatile garments that adapt seamlessly from daily city life to exclusive events. The values they prioritize are understated elegance, high-quality materials, and respect for well-made pieces. TATRAS meets these desires with a range that balances style and practicality, offering quiet elegance for a customer who consciously chooses the best.

 

 

What specific materials make a TATRAS garment distinctive and unique compared to other brands?

Each TATRAS garment pays homage to top-tier materials: from Polish down, known for its thermal insulation, to premium Italian wools from Loro Piana and technical fabrics from Limonta. The Japanese and Italian materials used are lightweight, durable, and offer thermal insulation, blending contemporary style with comfort and sophistication. This exclusive selection makes each TATRAS garment unmistakably unique.

 

 

How is the ethical sourcing of goose down achieved, and what practices ensure sustainability and ethics in material selection?

TATRAS is deeply committed to sustainability, certifying each garment under the international Responsible Down Standard (RDS), which ensures animal welfare and product traceability. This approach reflects respect for the materials used, ensuring that every feather is obtained ethically and cruelty-free. This dedication to quality and ethics is reflected in every detail.

 

 

How would you describe the design of the PEARL collection, and how does it reflect the DNA of TATRAS? What elements are common with the first collection, and what are the new additions?

The Pearl Collection pays homage to the natural beauty of pearls, symbols of timeless elegance. In this capsule, TATRAS combines Japanese craftsmanship with Italian elegance, creating pieces that achieve a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Compared to the first collection, Pearl introduces new silhouettes and innovative volumes, while remaining faithful to the use of sustainable, high-quality materials, such as recycled nylon and tweed. With eleven exclusive pieces, the collection celebrates modern femininity through sophisticated details and minimalist style.

 

 

What type of client is the PEARL collection intended for, and what occasions is it best suited for?

The Pearl Collection was created for a sophisticated woman who is detail-oriented and appreciates versatile, elegant style. The pieces are designed to accompany her throughout the day, from daily routines to the most exclusive events, without sacrificing comfort. Pearl blends class and functionality, reflecting beauty and femininity at every moment.
