Bottega Veneta, an Italian luxury brand, was established in 1966 in the Veneto region of Italy by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. The brand's name translates to "Venetian Shop," reflecting its deep roots in the artisanship and culture of its birthplace. Bottega Veneta initially gained recognition for its artisanal leather goods, especially its signature intrecciato weave design, a pattern that has become synonymous with the brand's commitment to understated luxury and quality. Over time, the company expanded its portfolio to include ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, and home decor, all the while maintaining its original ethos of craftsmanship and quality.

In the 2000s, Bottega Veneta underwent a period of revitalization under the creative direction of Tomas Maier, who introduced the brand's motto, "When your own initials are enough." This phrase embodied the company's dedication to individuality and personal expression, eschewing conspicuous logos in favor of subtle, timeless elegance. Today, Bottega Veneta is a part of the Kering Group, one of the world's leading luxury goods groups. With a global network of boutiques and a strong digital presence, Bottega Veneta continues to set standards in luxury, its products serving as a testament to the brand's rich heritage and commitment to craftsmanship.

Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux is the oldest fine leather goods house in the world, crafting and designing without interruption in its workshops since then. Delvaux is the inventor of the modern handbag, having filed the first-ever leather handbag patent in the world, in 1908.

In 1933 Franz Schwennicke takes over the business. Delvaux becomes an exclusive brand and is the first to introduce seasonal collections, mirroring the practices of Haute Couture.

Under his direction and then later that of his wife, Solange, Delvaux produces countless masterpieces. The ateliers of Brussels and France produce handbags that stand out in the history of leather goods, such as the ‘Brillant’, created for the Brussels World Fair in 1958.

Steeped in the spirit of Belgian surrealism, la Maison Delvaux brings a witty approach to all its creations, infusing each design with an unconventional and original touch.

The first luxury leather goods house in the world is unlike any other. In the hands of its highly skilled leather artisans, Delvaux bags become genuine works of art.

Delvaux has a long and rich history. More than 3,000 handbag designs have been created since 1829. To this day, every new creation continues to be described, sketched and catalogued in Delvaux’s Golden Book, the “Livre d’Or”.

More than sixty years ago, Robert Jean de Vogüé, at the time President of Moët & Chandon, and a handful of other exceptional individuals had the vision, courage and drive to redefine luxury sparkling wine.

They realized that there was a way to make it modern; and that was to take it far, far from home, exporting their centuries old know how, not the bottles. What they created was a thrilling paradox: a heritage brand with dynamism in its DNA. CHANDON.

Now spanning four continents, we have wineries in Argentina, California, Brazil, Australia, China and India, making ours the largest sparkling vineyard worldwide and the only domain on which the sun never sets.

Drawing on a collaborative network of sixteen winemakers of seven different nationalities, we stand for new terroirs, innovative methods and an ever-curious outlook that happily unites our diverse lands and people. CHANDON opens up a world of possibilities.

Milan, 1984: a plaque outside a small office shows the surnames Dolce&Gabbana, almost as if it were a professional studio. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, with only two million lire in their pockets, thus began to write the history of the brand that they would have founded shortly after, in 1985, giving life to an all-Italian dream made up of craftsmanship, tailoring tradition, Mediterranean culture, innovation instinct and a pinch of irony. The first clothing collections would follow over time with a wide and varied offer, an expression of dedication, study and research: a virtuous path that culminates in 2012 with the dream of high fashion.

Behind every Dolce&Gabbana creation lie the secrets of many crafts, the devotion to work, attention to detail and love for beauty. After more than thirty-five years, Dolce&Gabbana continues to be inspired by Italian art, traditions and culture by offering clothes, accessories, jewelry and watches that embody a unique heritage of knowledge and emotions.

Founded in 1917 by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Balenciaga is an iconic fashion house that has stood at the forefront of haute couture for over a century. From its humble beginnings in San Sebastian, Spain, the brand quickly gained a reputation for its unique and revolutionary designs, which combined a deep understanding of tailoring with a visionary sense of form and proportion. Despite political unrest leading to its relocation to Paris in 1937, Balenciaga thrived and continued to push the boundaries of fashion, solidifying its status as a leading fashion house.

Throughout the mid 20th century, Balenciaga was renowned for its innovative silhouettes and masterful craftsmanship, which redefined the standards of beauty in fashion. Cristóbal Balenciaga was widely regarded as a master of his craft, with iconic designs such as the tunic dress and the balloon jacket influencing the trajectory of fashion. His dedication to his craft was matched by his business acumen, leading to the international expansion of the brand.

In recent years, Balenciaga has continued to maintain its reputation as a trailblazer in the fashion industry. The brand's commitment to innovation and creative expression is evident in its contemporary collections, which seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Under the creative direction of designers such as Nicolas Ghesquière and Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga has continued to evolve, reinvent, and reshape the fashion landscape, staying true to its legacy while looking towards the future.
