Born in 1987 from an idea of Marco Palmieri, its current chairman and CEO, Piquadro today is a leading company in the sector of luxury leather goods.

The best expression to identify this company is “Piquadro’s future is already here”.

And the future is in the design of the products themselves, a perfect mix of functionality, comfort and technology; it’s in the production processes, using innovative material such as technical weaves and resistant leathers, because they are treated and processed with state of the art methods; it’s in the company strategy, because it’s in constant dynamic evolution, establishing agreements and alliances with top of the line brands (for example, Piquadro has recently signed with G&P Net SpA, a company that produces and distributes the Geospirit and Peuterey brands, a contract for the production of urban technical clothing with the Piquadro featuring Peuterey brand in the autumn-winter collection 2009).

Again, the future is in the new avant-garde headquarters in Silla di Gaggio Montano, near Bologna, a macro container of surprising futuristic architectural beauty, a building of glass and metal that embodies an “invisible factory”, and that bears witness to Piquadro’s founding values with its impressive majesty: research and promotion of a design culture.

Design, comfort and technology are the components that have distinguished the Piquadro brand from the moment it was born; the components that have led it to its exclusive position on the international market. Over the years, in fact, the Piquadro Italian brand has developed constantly and extended and confirmed its presence at an international level.

The Company proposes over 400 products of design divided over 20 collections including Piquadro bags and Piquadro accessories: luxury accessories such as briefcases and bags for work and leisure, small leather goods, belts, diaries, trolleys, week end bags and suitcases designed for business travel. All products are made of leather or highly technological material, designed to cater for the demands of business and design oriented customers.

Piquadro products are innovative by conception: "tech-inside" sums up the company’s spirit and translates into a vast line of solutions, designed to cater for new life styles and business in the era of the global economy.

Total quality is a must for the entire Piquadro production, the innovative product lines are based on absolute attention to detail and maximum orientation towards functionality and design.
