Antonino Aiello founds 100% Capri in 2000
The Creative Director and businessman Antonino Aiello is the man behind the brand. Born in Sorrento, he was just twenty-three when he moved to Capri.
With the experience gained in his family’s textile company, he founded 100% Capri in 2000, and opened his first shop on via Fuorlovado, just east of the central “Piazzetta” in the island’s main town.
In 2003, he took the bespoke linens of his collections to the extraordinary setting of the Hotel de Russie in Rome, and the following year opened a boutique on the beautiful and majestic resort island of St. Barthelemy, which has surprising affinities with the memorable 1960’s glamour of Capri.
2006, marked the start of his home ware project – 100% Capri Home Collection. In 2008, Antonino’s brand set sail for Florida, in the most luxurious mall in the United States, the Bal Harbour Shops. Four years later, 100% Capri has arrived in Dubai.
Drawing inspiration from the colors and shapes of Capri, it is the combination of linen as well as the magic of the island of Capri that allow those who wear 100% Capri collection, to live in a dream: graceful decors and details recall the charming and timeless tradition of this island, known worldwide as the home of holiday elegance.
Light, fresh, modern and elegant spirit
100% Capri has been created based on a lifestyle centered around the refined spirit of it’s specially commissioned fabrics and unique tailoring, whilst redefining the silhouettes as well as the touch of linen.
In fact, it is the only company that specializes in finely crafted linen – allowing indulgent shirting, lightweight wearable dresses, summer kaftans and elegant beachwear to harmoniously coexist, with accessories and footwear complementing the total 100% Capri look.
