Tam Tam is a call to fashion, to taste: a company and a family tradition that has lived on for three generations – now in the history of clothing.
The very kind Mrs. Luciana Veschini tells us how her parents started the business in 1956, between markets and fairs; but it was in 1968 that she opened the Ponte San Giovanni store.
So it was that from a traditional store, over time, it specialized in the ‘Curvy’ and ‘Oversize’ world, for men from size 52 to 84 and for women from size 44 to 70, with a wide and transversal choice of garments, from casual to elegant, from sporty to formal with a single common denominator: quality, style and perfect fit.
The entry of her children Chiara and Michele Panzolini has brought several innovations by extending the offer; Tam Tam is now a renowned Boutique of over 70 exclusive specialized brands, which are able to satisfy every type of fit. Their many years of experience is made available as soon as you enter and you immediately feel at ease, discreetly followed by a professional and trained staff, able to advise in a brilliant and timely manner. To be included, fundamental for a perfect success, the tailoring service that takes care of modelling and customizing all the clothes available.
They are keen to point out that they do not make online sales: “We are a historic store and we want to have contact with people, especially for our tailor-made services,” they say. It is precisely their passionate and constant presence to the public that has determined the success of this important fashion landmark, local and national, over the years. The Tam Tam, as we said, is a truly unique boutique where you can find and wear all the best companies in the sector, both for men and women, as well as the sought-after ‘Curvy’ formal dresses.
In 2011, following the well-known global upheavals in the fashion market, from a great intuition of Luciana and her family, the second store was born, that of the Ferriera di Torgiano: Tam Tam Grandi Taglie Outlet, with the usual commitment to offer the best of fashion and taste but at cheaper prices than the boutique – and with an even more important assortment and fit.
At the outlet you can find, in fact, a wide choice of clothing for men and women, with sizes available up to 84 and with discounts all year round: “With the same refined quality that we have always wanted to express, our qualified staff will assist and advise you in the best possible way to be able to choose, every time, a perfect outfit!”, they tell us proudly.
The care of the fashion seasons never fails, even as regards image and communication: twice a year they carry out photo shoots, autumn/winter and spring/summer, with professional models, whose shots are then uploaded to social networks to give old and new customers the opportunity to be updated on the new collections.
Tam Tam is one of the longest-running family businesses in Umbria, and we at Valley Life can only give them all our affection and support.
