Bruno is the best tailor in Brisbane, hands down. I have purchased 2 different suits from him and he always nails it. He’s also taken good care of my friends.

I cannot recommend Bruno from Merlai highly enough. A true master of his craft! He will not let you leave the store until you are 100% satisfied. This truly was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything, Bruno!

This was my first time getting a custom suit made for myself. I was anxious at first but Bruno made the process feel simple and enjoyable. I recommend Merlai to anyone looking for their next suit. I won’t be buying off the rack again after going to Bruno. Let’s book in the next appointment ASAP

Bruno worked wonders and got us looking sharp for our big day! We walked in with no guidance for him to work on, other than we didn't want a Tuxedo, and through spending time getting to know us really zoned in on what we wanted. The sessions with Bruno were always fun, relaxed, and usually involved a tipple or two. The quality of the garments were awesome, and the shoes were so comfy, even though we were on our feet all night - including the dance floor. We got jackets, shirts, trousers, shoes and belts for both of us, and don't regret any of the purchases. Look forward to wearing them over and over again! Will definitely use Bruno again.

I came to Bruno with what I thought was a reasonably difficult request: a suit matching the specific blue/people colour of a bridesmaid's dress. He was able to accommodate this no problems, and found an exact match as well as multiple very close ones. He enthusiastically guided me through all of the customisation options, which has resulted in an excellent suit which fit perfectly the first time! I would definitely recommend Merlai, and will be back for any future needs.

Bruno has been been consistently excellent and dependable throughout the suit process! Hits the perfect sweet spot between incredibly professional and warm and friendly. This man is exactly who you want as a tailor, nothing is impossible for him, from custom made shoes and belts to suits of any kind. Bruno always makes feel like you’re in good hands.

Why Italian Suits And Tailoring

Why Merlai Italian-style suits & tailoring?

Fabric-wise, Italian suits are incredibly lightweight to suit the balmy Italian summer—so they’re just what you need for the sunny Australian climate.

Fit-wise, Italian suits are highly tailored and fit close to the body—giving that dapper and dashing look. They're way cooler (literally and figuratively) than boxy American-style suits, and they're way less rigid and stiff than British-style suits.

Think: Effortlessly stylish. And a timeless design that’ll look great today and in 5 years time. 

If you care about looking sharp, and feeling cool, Merlai suits are your go-to.
