Gucci expands leather production ownership
Gucci has acquired 100% of the Colonna Group, a key leather supplier, through its subsidiary Gucci Logistica.
The move increases its previous 51% stake, held since 2019, and includes three major tanneries: Marbella Pellami, Conceria 800, and Falco Pellami, all based in Santa Croce sull’Arno.
The acquisition aligns with a broader trend of luxury brands, such as Zegna and Prada, verticalising supply chains to enhance quality and sustainability. Gucci, with its long history of leather investments, aims to strengthen control over production processes, central to its growth strategy.
This step also supports local craftsmanship and underscores the importance of direct supply chain management in meeting the evolving demands of the luxury market.
