GIOBAGNARA
Renowned for its elegant creations that convey luxury
without ostentation, GIOBAGNARA adheres to the
highest standards of craftsmanship. By pursuing a
philosophy that incorporates traditional know-how
with leading-edge technologies, and offering
a limitless color palette of quality leathers and suede,
founder Giorgio Bagnara has been able to experiment
and push the technical boundaries of his craft in order
to create pieces that are both beautiful and functional.
Launched in 1999, the GIOBAGNARA brand
has quickly earned a reputation for expert leather
workmanship, and its founder has become a key
partner for a large number of interior designers
as well as a select group of yacht and private jet
designers who rely on his specialized knowledge
to realize made-to-measure commissions.
In 2015, Giorgio Bagnara expanded his leather goods
portfolio with the acquisition of saddle leather specialist
RABITTI1969.
In 2017, Bagnara initiated a collaboration with French
designer Stéphane Parmentier, who was appointed
creative director of GIOBAGNARA and its affliate
brands.
In 2018, the company’s portfolio grew 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 2022, GIOBAGNARA acquired the Italian luxury
lifestyle brand RIVIERE. The know-how of this
brand is unique of its kind, and elevates the universal
characteristics of beauty and quality. With this
acquisition RIVIERE enriches GIOBAGNARA's offer
and strengthens the Group's international leadership
in the sector.
