Founded in 1919 in Romentino, Italy as a producer of high-quality silk shirtings, TESTA shifted its focus towards cotton fabrics after the Second World War. Harnessing its invaluable heritage and design prowess, it soon became a leading modern player.

Bolstered by SÖKTAŞ’s operational strength and excellence in service, TESTA is now perfectly positioned to offer our customers a wide array of high-quality designs both in seasonal collections as well as in a beautifully edited stock service selection.

SARTORIALE

SARTORIALE constitutes the traditional part of Testa’s stock service offerings, and is committed to innovating and expanding on classical patterns and styles. With a focus on elegant stripes, textured structures, and a comprehensive selection of whites, SARTORIALE is the last word on the timeless shirting aesthetic.

SPRING/SUMMER

Linen has been celebrated for its strength and resiliency for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations have utilized linen for ceremonial purposes, underlining the textile’s particular relationship to tradition. Testa’s %100 linen range picks up where tradition has left off, offering an extensive foray into beautiful, brilliant and in some cases, eccentric colour ways.

Zephyr-voiles are the pinnacle of light and airy summer style. Testa’s iconic heritage is nowhere more visible than it is in its embrace of joyful prints, including a luxurious palette of florals, paisleys and geometrical designs.

Testa Zephyr linens are constructed to feel like a cool summer breeze. With different concentrations of cotton and linen, we offer variations on texture and weight. For a more relaxed and contemporary fit in this range, we have also introduced an elegant, light-weight twill.

AUTUMN/WINTER

For the colder seasons, Testa emphasizes the quality of noble materials. We offer cotton blends with wool and cashmere for a softer, more supple-looking garment. Luxurious blends that incorporate linen, cotton, and wool, seek to offer a textured aesthetic and a more directional freshness, easing the transition from summer to winter.

When it comes to softness and warmth, flannel always takes the lead. Testa offers flannel fabrics across a variety of weights. Teddy is a cosy 80/2 flannel that we combine with 80/2 mouliné or mélange yarns for a heather effect.

We’ve specifically developed tonal mouliné yarns for a subtler and quietly elegant look. Distinct strands of the multi coloured yarns are only visible upon closer inspection. Sophisticated structures, oxfords and solids are rendered fresh with cooler, autumnal colors.

Stripes in poplins and complex bases receive an update both in their constructions and in their inspired colors. We employ high-quality double twisted 100/2 yarns tightly woven in twill structures which result in highly durable fabrics with a soft handle. Ideal for shirts, over-shirts, and refined utility garments.
