This autumn, The Sartorial Club enters a new era.
Venice becomes our second home, and the first expression of a broader world built around craftsmanship, culture, meaningful connection, and the art of living.
From the people who make exceptional things to the places that preserve their traditions, The Venetian Chapter brings together the worlds we have always been drawn to, and the people who believe they are best experienced together.
A new phase of TSC begins here.
The Venetian Chapter
Venice, Our Second Home
Florence will always be part of our story.
But Venice opens another door.
A city shaped by centuries of exchange between makers, artists, merchants, collectors, and travellers, Venice has always been a meeting point between worlds.
Now, it becomes a place for the Club to return to: not simply for a weekend, but as a home for the people, ideas, and collaborations that will shape what comes next.
A World Beyond the Garment
We began with the art of dressing well.
That curiosity led us further.
To the people behind exceptional work. To the materials and traditions they preserve. To the houses, tables, and places where craftsmanship becomes part of everyday life.
The Venetian Chapter brings those worlds into conversation.
Contemporary bespoke. Venetian heritage. Wine. Hospitality. Art. Philanthropy.
Not as separate experiences, but as part of the same story.
The People Who Make the Experience
A Club is defined by the people who choose to be part of it.
In Venice, members will gather with makers, hosts, collectors, cultural figures, and friends of the Club, each bringing their own perspective, knowledge, and world into the experience.
Because the most memorable encounters rarely come from following an itinerary. They come from the people you find yourself sharing it with.
Fondazione Città della Speranza
Fondazione Città della Speranza is dedicated to advancing pediatric research and improving the lives of children facing serious illnesses.
For The Venetian Chapter, philanthropy is not an addition to the programme, but part of the reason we gather: bringing a community together around a shared experience, and a shared purpose.
A Shared Purpose
Known for bringing together an eclectic international circle of artists, collectors, friends and cultural figures, Mimi Todhunter has made Venice her home and her world.
A celebrated hostess and true Venetian insider, she believes in the magic of bringing the right people together around a table, where conversation can take unexpected turns and new connections are made.
The Art of Bringing People Together

Loreta Verikas
Originally trained in graphic design, London-based bespoke tailor Loreta Verikas brings a distinctly personal perspective to the world of bespoke.
Combining traditional tailoring with her own hand-drawn approach to design, she creates pieces defined by sharp lines, feminine structure, and a strong sense of individuality.
A Different Line of Thinking
Few names are more closely associated with Venice's creative history than Fortuny.
Bringing together textiles, art, design, and a distinctly Venetian way of living, its world reflects the kind of curiosity and cross-disciplinary creativity at the heart of this new chapter for TSC.
Where Art Becomes a Way of Life

Gathering with Purpose
The Venetian Chapter is built around more than what we discover.
It is also about what we can do together.
The weekend culminates in a candlelit banquet hosted by Mimi Todhunter in support of Fondazione Città della Speranza, bringing members and guests together around one table to support its work in advancing pediatric medical research.
Through participation, conversation, and a curated auction of rare contributions, the gathering becomes an opportunity to turn shared appreciation into tangible support.

Bespoke Trunk Show | Oct 23-24
Bespoke Tailoring, Without Boundaries
At the heart of the weekend, Loreta Verikas hosts a private bespoke trunk show for members and selected guests.
Her approach draws on the discipline of Savile Row while embracing the language of haute couture. Each commission begins with a personal consultation and her distinctive hand-drawn illustration, capturing the first vision of the garment before it is shaped through cloth, pattern, and fittings.
While known for redefining bespoke for women, the experience is open to both women and men. Jackets, suits, dresses, and couture pieces are created with equal precision, each entirely individual.
A rare encounter with bespoke as both craft and expression.

Inside the World of Fortuny | Oct 23
A Private Encounter with Venetian Craft
Beyond the Venice of postcards lies a world shaped by makers, designers, artists, and generations of craftsmanship.
This October, TSC members are invited into the world of Fortuny, one of Venice’s most celebrated maisons, for a private visit to the historic Palazzina on Giudecca.
Once the residence of Countess Elsie McNeill, the Palazzina is now a living expression of the Fortuny universe, bringing together art, design, materials, and the enduring traditions of Venetian craft.
A rare opportunity to experience Fortuny from the inside, in a setting few visitors ever encounter.

Charity Dinner on the Grand Canal | Oct 24
In Support of Fondazione Città della Speranza
The weekend concludes with a private candlelit supper in a historic palazzo along the Grand Canal, hosted by renowned salonnière Mimi Todhunter.
Gathered around one table, members and guests come together in support of Fondazione Città della Speranza and its work advancing pediatric medical research. Throughout the evening, a carefully curated auction moment offers the opportunity to contribute further to the cause through rare expressions of craftsmanship and provenance.
An intimate Venetian night where culture, generosity, and friendship meet.
Preferred Residence
The private residence of Mimi Todhunter serves as one of the preferred residences for the Venetian Chapter.
A limited number of rooms are available to members and participating guests through the Club. Please get in touch for availability and arrangements.
