The Story of a Successful Brand

Piquadro The company was founded in 1987, based on an idea by Marco Palmieri, an engineering student who, at just 22 years old, started his own business manufacturing leather goods for third parties. In just over 10 years, he launched the production of his own brand of travel leather goods and professional accessories, such as the iconic “Piquadro” backpacks, “Piquadro” suitcases, planners, and laptop bags, making Piquadro a brand synonymous with innovation and design, famous throughout the world.

Materials

The quality of the materials used, combined with the craftsmanship of a production process rooted in the finest Italian manufacturing tradition—reinterpreted with a contemporary twist—has made the Piquadro brand an icon of “Made in Italy” style, recognizable for the design and functionality of its travel and business lines produced over the years.
