Situated on Chapel Road in historic Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, the D&B shop has stood for nearly half a century as a bastion of old-world craftsmanship and timeless style. The inviting gardens outside hint at the beauty and care of the craft performed within.
Inside, an array of rich fabrics and stylish garments lines the walls, helping visitors to imagine the limitless possibilities offered by the bespoke and couture tradition. The unfinished garments on display throughout the store demonstrate the care and attention that goes into every stitch of D&B clothing.
Master Designer Gabriele D’Annunzio personally works with each client to design every garment that bears the name D&B. The son of a master tailor, Gabriele learned the craft as a young boy in Italy, where he and his siblings raised silkworms for the fabric industry. After moving to America, he began working professionally as a tailor at age 15, hand-assembling the armholes on suits.
Gabriele’s passion lies in fitting his clients from Philadelphia and the Main Line with the finest bespoke and couture garments available in America. His attentiveness is the backbone of D&B’s superlative personal customer service. Gabriele works with each client individually to achieve a perfect fit and to help them design their one-of-a-kind suits, dresses, coats, gowns, and shirts.
