GIOBAGNARA

Italian leather craftsmanship — founded by Giorgio Bagnara in 1999 in Genoa, Italy. Recognized for distinctive, elegantly designed creations that express luxury without ostentation, and which are available in an exceptional and virtually limitless color palette of leathers and suede, GIOBAGNARA adheres to the highest standards of craftsmanship, incorporating traditional know-how and leading-edge technology. This approach to tradition and modernity has permitted Giorgio Bagnara to experiment: he constantly pushes technical limits in his quest for pieces that are both beautiful and relevant, and in doing so counts on the expert skills of the brand's craftspeople. In a short span of time, GIOBAGNARA has become renowned for its expertise, and its founder has become a key partner for a large number of interior decorators as well as yacht and private jet designers who rely on his know-how for special commissions. In 2015, Giorgio Bagnara expanded his leather goods portfolio with the acquisition of the saddle leather specialist RABITTI1969. In 2018, the expansion of the portfolio proceeded with the strategic acquisition of PIGMENT FRANCE, a respected company with specialized skills in leather covering and the weaving of wicker, rattan and straw. In 2017 Giobagnara introduced the newly acquired RUDI, a brand that since 1996 focuses on contract work and on the production of articles made from a trademarked special regenerated leather called Tecnocuoio. Starting from 2017, the company initiated collaborations with internationally renowned designers such as Stéphane Parmentier, Glenn Sestig and Francesco Balzano, resulting in a series of exquisite exclusive collections. Today, two decades after its founding, GIOBAGNARA employs more than 60 people and has one of the most comprehensive offerings of quality leather homewares on the market and is preparing to embark on a new chapter.
