House of Trussardi



Nicola Trussardi (1942-1999)

 The Trussardi family owns a glove manufacturing business that has been thriving...ever since it was founded by the great Dante Trussardi in 1910 in Bergamo, Italy. But the family business took a great and successful turn and worldwide recognition when one of Dante's grandson Nicola Trussardi took over the company and turned the company's name synonymous with luxe accessories which includes belts, shoes, umbrellas, foulards, ties, bags and suitcases. The company also went on to produce ready-to-wear garments made of leather.

The House of Trussardi became a major name whose presence in the Milan Collections has always been consistent. It is a fact that leather items made by the Trussardi label is most supple compared to the traditional ones. The company has one of the most advanced tannery in the world wherein sophisticated procedures for treating and refining leather is carefully observed.

Nicola Trussardi tragically passed away in 1999 at age 56. Today the House of Trussardi is run by his daughter Beatrice. The company is also active in upholding contemporary art and major events in Milan. The Trussardi brand has boutiques and stores all over Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Russia and the Middle East.
