The CARDI brand was founded in 2000 by Alfred Cardi of Bell Tuxedo Wholesale (BTW). At the time CARDI products were only available to wholesale accounts of BTW.

In 2006 Christopher Cardi (Alfred's Brother) formed CARDI International. With a strong background in high-end Italian fashion design and product outsourcing, Christopher is combining higher quality fabrics with formalwear accessories.

The CARDI brand is now taking a bold step into the formalwear industry, reinventing it's product lines and making them available to the general public, via hundreds of fine tuxedo stores all across the US and around the world.

In our first year alone, now as a re-established formalwear brand, we have released SIX collections including four vest styles and two additional tie collections.

Passionate about formalwear trends and committed to the traditional design and aesthetics of classic luxury formalwear, the CARDI design team is the heart and soul of our brand. The construction of each item boasts the design team's uncompromising value of fabric quality, craftsmanship and durability.

Any individual who decides to wear a CARDI product to their next formal event is bound to learn that CARDI products are not only a pleasure to wear, but a pleasure to look at. Friends and family will be quick to notice that your tuxedo ensemble bears a little something extra...

That's the CARDI touch.
