48 Hours in Miami
The Travel Chronicles
Despite its alluring warm weather and stunning beaches, Miami is way more than a weekend escape: it’s a city brimming with creativity and style, encouraging both laid-back vacationers and intrepid explorers to discover this unique coastal city.
With a multifaceted culture, astounding architecture, and year-round tropical weather, you’ll soon realise two days in Miami are nowhere nearly enough to truly experience its vibe. But if 48 hours are all you have, here’s a list of places and activities you shouldn’t miss as you get a sample of The Magic City.
Breakfast: Lincoln Road
Lincoln Road feels like a city within a city: as you walk down this pedestrianised shopping district, you'll be able to smell the aroma of freshly-grinded coffee, multicultural meals and a farmers' market selling local produce. The whole road is enveloped in a creative vibe, with theatres and boutique art galleries giving a sense of artistic freedom and relaxation to help you start the day off on the right foot.
Take a stroll: Vizcaya Gardens
Miami is a city that contains multitudes, and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are the perfect examples of the variety and beauty offered by The Magic City. Reminiscent of the stunning Medici villas in Tuscany, the living museum draws inspiration from Renaissance Italian architecture and blends it with the history and culture of the city, resulting in a perfect mix of Old World and Miami’s heritage.
The gardens are a thing of wonder: acres and acres of pristine landscape gardens, where thousands of orchids and protected forest lands coexist and create the perfect, quiet atmosphere for your leisurely stroll in Miami.
Dinner: Casa Tua & Mandolin Aegean Bistro
Sometimes, a leather belt can enliven your style like nothing else: a garment that will enhance the quality of any outfit and that you'll love wearing for years to come.
Leather belts of the highest quality ensure durability and uniqueness for your everyday wardrobe. They hold their shape nicely and adapt easily, becoming more comfortable over time and providing a stylish look even after countless uses.
They’re also highly versatile garments that fit perfectly with both casual and formal attires. You won’t need a plethora of belts, as long as you own a few in neutral colours to put on that will work on any occasion.
Today we’ll look into what makes our handcrafted leather belts unique and why they’re the ultimate choice to enhance all kinds of styles.
Turin contains multitudes: a city that’s both industrial and artistic, ancient and modern, an amazing place of history and beauty where you can experience the authentic Italian lifestyle at its absolute best.
Torino is the northernmost major city in Italy, facing the majestic Alps and constantly caressed by its breeze. Yet, the city feels Mediterranean, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a southern flair that couldn't be more different from the hectic, metropolitan style of nearby Milan.
Nestled between the Po River and the Alps, Turin was a major national and European political centre for centuries. It was the first capital of unified Italy (the Kingdom of Italy), and the then-governing House of Savoy built majestic palaces and a modern infrastructure to celebrate the city’s importance.
Like most Italian cities, Turin went through a series of significant historical changes that determined its architecture and aura. It was one of the country's first and most industrialised cities between the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century; together with Milan, Turin and its industry laid the foundations for the post-war Italian miracolo industriale: it is, to this day, a crucial crossroad for industry, commerce, and trade.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip to Turin, here's what you can do in 24 hours in one of the most beautiful Italian cities.
If you want to try a truly Italian culinary experience in Miami, Casa Tua offers a unique Tuscan atmosphere enhanced by one of the finest wine selections in the city. The trattoria is a well-known romantic spot in Miami, thanks to its timeless vibe, the lush garden, and a menu that draws inspiration from Central Italy’s rich food heritage. From the authentic Spaghetti alla Chitarra to the heavenly Tiramisù, having dinner at Casa Tua is a multisensorial experience you’ll never forget.
The Mandolin Aegean Bistro is another excellent spot for those looking for a Mediterranean feel in Miami: the restaurant, with its minimal design and authentic Greek furniture, makes you wonder whether you just landed in an idyllic coastal town by the Aegean Sea. Mandolin exudes the essence of the laid-back seaside experience, with mouth-watering mezzes rigorously homemade, fresh local seafood, and an authentic sangria that’ll enhance the magical atmosphere of this unique restaurant.
Art: Art Basel Miami
Miami is the creative hub many tourists don’t expect. The Magic City is a cauldron of creativity, vibrant in its constant evolution and celebration of contemporary art. Art Basel Miami is perhaps the most iconic embodiment of Miami’s creative soul: constantly pushing the boundaries of art since its inception in 1970, Art Basel’s only American show couldn’t find a better home than Miami Beach, where refined culture and vibrant lifestyle collide.
If you are in Miami in June 2023, make sure you don't miss out on this iconic event where the finest galleries in the world showcase their works: an opportunity to discover 20th and 21st-century art in an unforgettable location.
Nightlife: Jaguar Sun
There’s no shortage of nightclubs and cocktail bars in Miami, but there is only a handful that can offer an elevated cocktail experience, exceptional food, and the authentic Miami vibe. Jaguar Sun, inside the Downtown’s X Miami building, is an unmissable place for those looking for the real nightlife of the Magic City: the minimalist design, the refined cocktail menu, and the tasty dishes will cast a spell on you and further magnify the charm of Miami.
Hotel: Faena Miami Beach
The Faena Miami Beach is a hotel unlike any other, an enchanting blend of timeless architecture and unrestrained luxury inspired by the glamour of the 1950s and the lush design of Art Deco.

Visit Our Store in Miami
As you walk by Brickell, Miami's financial hub with its majestic skyline and luxurious hotels, take a moment to visit us at the Miami Ave suite. The store, designed by Davide Barreri, blends Art Deco and the unique heritage of The Magic City, with Carrara marble and Brugnotto’s bespoke furniture to enhance the link between Luca Faloni’s timeless collection and the effervescence of the city that hosts our newest store.
Elegant, slim-fit, wrinkle-resistant, and timeless: for decades, chino pants have been an integral part of a man’s wardrobe thanks to their unique versatility and durability. This year, Luca Faloni reinterpreted chinos by adding a modern touch to a classic design, enriched by the traditional approach and attention to details typical of the Italian craftsmanship our garments radiate. The result is our new cotton twill winter chino: Cortina.
Cortina features a medium thickness, cotton twill gabardine, ideal for the colder seasons and giving a unique silky, luxurious feel on your skin. We decided to name our latest chinos Cortina to celebrate the iconic history and lifestyle of Italy’s most charming alpine town, famous for it’s apres ski.
This article will look into the history of this fascinating fabric and how our Cortina chinos are made.

The gabardine fabric our Cortina chinos are made of is a tightly woven warp-faced twill weave fabric. A firm and durable material, gabardine was created in the late 1800s by Thomas Burberry, the founder of Burberry, who wanted to create a new, versatile blend for his creations.
At first, gabardine became popular because it can hold its shape and does not wrinkle easily. When it started being waterproofed with lanolin, it also became a must-have for travellers and explorers worldwide. Today gabardine is a versatile and exceptional fabric for suits and casualwear and is often used to make chinos or pants that can stand the test of time.
Our gabardine fabric is crafted in Northern Italy from high-quality cotton twill and blended with 3% elastane to improve the garment’s comfort and durability. They’ll seamlessly adapt to your shape, and thanks to the thoughtful details and luxurious feel on your skin, they may well become your go-to chinos in any smart-casual situation.
How we make the Cortina chinos
Italian Design
In our Italian laboratories, we have reimagined this timeless classic by adding a modern touch and subtle details to bring exquisite garments to life. Thanks to skills that have been passed down through generations, seasoned artisans provide a final touch to all our creations, adding invisible stitching to keep the design clean and ensuring the pants’ quality and size measurements. With Cortina, this traditional process results in a contemporary garment with a practical and versatile design that will fit most autumn to spring outfits.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip to Turin, here's what you can do in 24 hours in one of the most beautiful Italian cities.
Cutting and Tailoring
Cloth cutting is made with machines to obtain the highest level of precision. After cutting the cloth, the Italian laboratories move on to tailoring, where the attention to details, fabric quality and traditional craftsmanship really come into play.
Cortina features internal double seams to ensure outstanding durability over time. The inner belt has embossed stitching, which will maintain the shirt tucked in more easily. The reinforcement in the bar tacks is visible on all pockets, giving further strength to a garment that's both elegant and highly sturdy.
The Cortina design keeps secure with a triple horn button closure and the inside button is hand stitched by artisans to ensure greater durability.
Our calf leather belts are the embodiment of timeless charm: built from full-grain vegetable tanned leather from Santa Croce. They will only get better with age and will last a lifetime, enriching your wardrobe and heightening the elegance of your formal outfits, but will also enhance your jeans and everyday style. The nubuck leather at the back of the belt adds a touch of understated luxury that won’t go unnoticed.
The calf leather offers the best durability and quality that will stand the test of time. Our reversible calf leather belts are essentially two belts in one, becoming the ideal choice for travellers also thanks to the luxury dust bag to store it.
Dyeing & Quality Check
The pants are then dyed using a 'Tinto Capo' process resulting in a natural harmonious colour throughout. Additionally, dying the garment at the end ensures that the trousers won't shrink after the first wash.
The final stage to bring the Cortina chinos to life involves ironing the pants, first using machinery and then by hands. As it's the tradition in the oldest Italian mills, each garment is meticulously checked by expert artisans in all its details, from size to stitching, ensuring the quality and durability of the Cortina pants are in line with the excellent quality our garments always display.
