History
Established in 1979.
Giorgio Figus, eclectic and creative artist is the one who started this adventure, which bears his last name.
In the 1970s Giorgio began to produce sabots, selling them in the Milanese markets. His creative force led him to experiment with new categories of accessories until he arrived at what would later become the brand's distinctive product: the bag. The accessory, which finds its greatest expression in the "satchel" model and the "messenger" model achieves considerable success thanks to a great intuition of Giorgio: experimenting with the colored dyeing of leather. Thus was born the most distinctive feature of this brand, the first in Milan to color leather.
The success is so great that Giorgio decides to open a store: then five boutiques spring up between the 1980s and 1990s.
The 2000s are a turning point in the brand's history: enter, at this point, Eleonora, Giorgio's daughter, with the goal of modernizing the brand and making it competitive internationally.
