History

A shop of Canali at IFC Mall, Hong Kong

Canali was founded in 1934 by Giacomo Canali and Giovanni Canali as a family business.[1][7][8][9]

In the 1950s, the ownership of Canali passed on to the second generation of the family. In the 1970s, Canali was the first Italian tailor to introduce mechanised cutting machines.[8] Canali opened its first flagship boutique in Milan.[citation needed]

In 2010, New York Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera was a spokesmodel for a Canali advertisement campaign.[10]

As of June 2013, led by the third generation of the family, Canali employs 1,700 people in seven factories in Italy, where it makes about 250,000 individual pieces of clothing annually.[11]

In 2012, 87.5% of the total production was exported;[3] on average 1,400 men's suits and 1,600 pairs of trousers were manufactured daily.[citation needed]

Canali has retail locations in Europe, North America, South America, East Asia, Central Asia, Africa and Australia.[12]
