Italian quality at Aspeli

The men’s store Aspeli can be found in Operagata, this is one of Oslo’s leading stores in men’s fashion. We have had a chat with Jo Inge about what exactly makes Aspeli so special!

At Aspeli, they focus on quality, fit, good brands and, not least, good customer service. Italian brands are extra special in this store. This is because Italy is very skilled in quality and fits, and not least they have a real passion for what they produce.

Italian brands

One of the brands Jo Inge highlights is Gran Sasso, which was originally a small family business, run and inspired by the entrepreneurial brothers Nello, Eraldo, Aleco and Francesco de Stefano. The vision of the brothers was to create products that show their passion for knitwear with elegance and quality. Today, Gran Sasso is a leading manufacturer of knitwear and everyday wear in Italy.

Furthermore, Sonrisa is also a popular Italian brand at Aspeli, their design philosophy is about creating timeless, elegant fashion that stands the test of time. Jo Inge particularly singles out the shirts as favorites here.

You will also find the Italian brand Herno in store, which are very good at outer jackets. As well as Santoni on quality shoes and Tramarossa jeans.

The Italian style

Jo Inge has worked for a long time to find the perfect mix of brands, and not least the brands he has in store today. It didn't start with the ones you find in stores now, but he eventually fell for the Italian quality, style and fit, and thus found the perfect brands for the Norwegian consumer.

Typical of the Italian style is precisely a good fit and good quality, combined with soft tones and slightly harsh contrasts, this is precisely what Aspeli likes so much about the Italian brands.

Autumn trends

This autumn there is a lot of delicious wool, cashmere and flannel to be found in stores. Nice chunky knitted jumpers, cashmere in both jumpers, blazers and coats and lots of flannel. When it comes to trousers, of course jeans are always a winner, but this year you can also go for corduroy, in soft quality and a slightly narrower fit. The colors used a lot are earth tones, brown and camel.

At Aspeli, they also carry Norwegian and Scandinavian brands such as Norwegian Ubr and Frislid and Scandinavian Morris and NN07, as well as many more.
