After doing copious amounts of research on leather jackets prior to our trip to Italy (from Seattle, WA - USA), I decided we needed to visit Guendj in Milan. This small family business was started by Yari’s mother in 1987 and the shop is packed wall to wall with leather jackets from every era and type imaginable.
I went on their website and saw a phone number listed..I thought hmm, maybe I can message him on WhatsApp and see if I can reach out in advance and say what I’m looking for and what my concerns are (material - looking for lamb skin d/t weight on my back, size - typically if jackets fit my waist they’re much too long in the arm, and open to any style that’ll fit that criteria, really). Yari responded right away and was so warm, kind, and reassuring that he would have something to work with.
When we arrived a few days later, he showed me a jacket I immediately fell in love with. Literally the first jacket I tried on was the one that I bought! He had just picked it up from where his family makes jackets the day before. Meant to be 🥰. My partner got a super cute vintage jacket as well, and we both left with a wonderful start to our day. Thank you Yari!!!
