PHILOSOPHY

Piquadro makes high-performance bags and travel accessories characterised by a recognisable design – the expression of Italian creativity and informal yet professional sense of style. Our priority is customer satisfaction, which however we do not only pursue through product quality, innovation and assistance but also through higher and more ethical values. The Piquadro Group feels a very strong responsibility to promote sustainable innovation and therefore a cultural change which, while preserving profit, puts respect for the environment and social progress first to guarantee the future of the next generations.

RESEARCH

All Piquadro products are the result of careful design. The company has various patents in recognition of the numerous technical/functional innovations implemented. Even the smallest detail is researched and designed by an internal team of designers who know and interpret the brand’s values. The development of increasingly new solutions and the search for the unusual in design and technology is the result of constant research on materials and trends, often in collaboration with various institutions, experts in sustainability, sports and other fields.

MATERIALS

Piquadro products are an expression of design and performance, offering an unprecedented interpretation of the Italian tradition in leather processing. The leathers, exclusively Italian, are certified by the Leather Working Group, the independent international body that has developed the world most widespread sustainability protocol for the leather supply chain. Carefully treated to enhance its texture and prevent wear, the leather is combined with latest generation technological fabrics, always recycled but highly performing to make excellent quality products. Tests on materials and finished products are carried out in an advanced laboratory inside the Piquadro headquarters where specialized machines test both the finished product and the raw materials to verify their resistance, structural integrity, water repellency and non-toxicity.
