Tivoli’s one-stop shop appeals to US brands
The CEO of Italian leathergoods manufacturer Tivoli Group has described growing US interest in its integrated business model as “an encouraging signal at a time when brands are reassessing their supply chain strategies".
Stefano Giacomelli said its US brand partners are looking for flexible manufacturers that are able to support them throughout the leathergoods development process.
He added: “Our positioning in the American market is also reinforced by our increasingly strong relationship with New York University. We support the MBA in Fashion & Luxury programme and collaborate on initiatives focused on education, engagement with students, and knowledge-sharing opportunities between New York and Florence.”
Headquartered in Calenzano, Tivoli produces 300,000 leathergoods and accessories per year. It partners more than 15 prestigious brands and provides brands at the early stages of their growth, as well as those launching new leathergoods collections, with a dedicated “start-up lane”.
Tivoli Group is exhibiting at Lineapelle New York (July 15 and 16).
