Our opinion
It's difficult to look at an entire Barena collection and not have a little crush, or at least a strong feeling of curiosity, for one of their pieces. The brand's storytelling in any case responds to a palpable reality in the design: we feel the sartorial roots of Italy, and at the same time an obvious relaxation that would prohibit anyone from talking about "classic" clothing. The Italian workwear DNA is also felt by the addition of pockets and other slightly rustic details, as well as fabrics lacking in character, with in particular a preponderant use of linen blends in summer. The brand also lives with the times, however, and is not afraid to draw inspiration from streetwear classics, but it never falls into crudeness. You will find a fairly complete wardrobe there, ranging from knitwear to shirts, including outerwear and sometimes even luggage. This Italian manufacturing and this inventiveness, however, comes at a certain price: all the pants cost over 200 euros, and the shirts average 190 euros. This price is fully justified in our eyes, even if a reader wishing to obtain "simple" products at an attractive price will have to turn to another brand.
The history of the brand Barena Venezia

Barena Venezia is an Italian label, originating, as its name suggests, from Venice.

The name "Barena" is derived from the Italian word "Baro", which means "emergent lands", in reference to the typical characteristics of the Venetian landscape.

Officially founded in 1993, the label is however based on archival research work which precedes it by around thirty years: the founder, Sandro Zara, spent many years visiting the former textile production workshops of the region, discovering in their archives forgotten ideas, original patterns, patterns or even sewing techniques presented in old books...

These discoveries are presented as the main sources of inspiration for the brand, which presents a style that is both sartorial, and at the same time has a traditional rusticity very consistent with these archival origins, inspired by a rural 20th century where it was not uncommon to see peasants working the land, while wearing a three-piece suit revisited as work clothing.
