Erfahren Sie mehr über BREAD & BUTTER

BREAD & BUTTER is the kind of brand that comes from genuinely loving clothing and the way people live in it. Nothing about the collections feels forced or overworked. Instead, there is a relaxed confidence running through every piece, from softly washed dresses and textured knitwear to the handcrafted footwear that has become such a recognisable part of the label.

Die von Micaela Giancale in Turin gegründete Marke spiegelt jahrzehntelange Erfahrung in den Bereichen Mode und Reisen wider, geprägt von den Designern, Herstellern und Handwerkern, denen sie im Laufe ihrer Karriere begegnet ist. Dieser Einfluss ist in den Kollektionen deutlich zu spüren. Die Stücke strahlen Persönlichkeit und Wärme aus und schaffen auf natürliche Weise ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Komfort und Individualität.

At House of Valerie, BREAD & BUTTER is loved for exactly this reason. The collections feel expressive without becoming overly styled, creating clothing women genuinely want to wear every day.

Aus Turin – eine andere Sichtweise auf die Mode

Micaela Giancale founded BREAD & BUTTER after more than thirty years spent working within fashion across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Through travel, sourcing, and collaboration with independent designers and makers, she developed a very personal understanding of clothing and craftsmanship that continues to shape the collections today.

Dieses Gefühl von Individualität steht im Mittelpunkt der Marke. Micaela beschreibt die Kollektionen als nonkonformistisch, niemals banal und für Frauen entworfen, die Kleidung mit Charakter statt trendorientierter Mode suchen. Die Modelle sind lässig und alltagstauglich, doch in Schnitt, Textur oder Verarbeitung steckt immer eine kleine Überraschung.

Die Kollektionen werden in Italien entworfen und unter besonderer Berücksichtigung handwerklicher Fertigung und langsamerer Produktionsmethoden hergestellt. Das Färben der Kleidungsstücke im fertigen Zustand, die weiche Schnittführung und sorgfältig entwickelte Stoffe tragen alle zu dem „gelebten“ Look bei, der die Marke auszeichnet. Selbst die Schuhe werden oft direkt vom Label selbst entworfen und handgefertigt, was den Kollektionen eine noch stärkere Identität verleiht.

At House of Valerie, we particularly love that BREAD & BUTTER never feels too polished. The clothing carries softness and personality rather than perfection, which makes the collections feel far more natural and wearable in everyday life.

Stückfärbung, Textur und weiche Struktur

Fabric is where much of the character of BREAD & BUTTER comes from. Garment dyeing plays a huge role within the collections, creating depth and softness throughout the clothing whilst giving colours a slightly worn and individual finish.

Jersey, Velours, gewaschene Baumwolle, griffige Strickwaren und weichere Schnitte fügen sich in den Kollektionen ganz natürlich zusammen. Die Stoffe fühlen sich schon beim ersten Tragen angenehm locker an, sodass man sich in der Kleidung bequem bewegen kann, ohne dass sie dabei ihre Form vollständig verliert.

At House of Valerie, the collections include softly structured jackets, relaxed dresses, textured pullovers, easy tunics, wide-leg trousers, and handcrafted footwear designed to work together instinctively. The styling never feels rigid but instead, the pieces layer naturally and develop personality through the way they are worn.

There is also a subtle playfulness within the collections that keeps the clothing from feeling too minimal or serious. Asymmetric cuts, softly exaggerated proportions, and painterly garment dyes introduce detail in a way that still feels understated and wearable.

The colour palette remains largely monochromatic, with black and white forming the foundation of most BREAD & BUTTER collections. Rather than relying heavily on print or seasonal colour trends, the brand uses contrast, texture, and silhouette to create interest. Occasional pops of colour appear throughout the collections — often through garment-dyed finishes, knitwear, or statement pieces — but these accents are used sparingly, allowing the overall aesthetic to remain cohesive, modern, and easy to style. The result is a wardrobe that feels both distinctive and versatile, with pieces that can be worn together effortlessly season after season.

Die Art von Kleidung, in der man quasi lebt

Some brands are built around occasion dressing, but BREAD & BUTTER feels much more connected to everyday life.

At House of Valerie, we often find customers returning to the brand because the pieces become the clothing they rely on most. A soft pullover worn repeatedly through the colder months, a relaxed dress that works across seasons, or a lightweight jacket that instantly finishes an outfit without feeling too formal. The collections are filled with pieces that settle naturally into wardrobes over time.

There is also something very instinctive about the way BREAD & BUTTER can be styled. The collections don't require excessive accessorising or complicated layering to feel complete. The fabrics, proportions, and softer silhouettes already create enough depth and interest on their own.

The footwear follows this same philosophy. Handcrafted and understated, the shoes complement the clothing perfectly without competing with it. That balance between comfortability and individuality is something the brand does particularly well.

What makes BREAD & BUTTER so appealing is that the collections feel genuine. The clothing is designed around the reality of how women dress and move through everyday life, whilst still offering pieces that feel distinctive, expressive, and beautifully made.
