The roaring '20s brought a new lease on life and a fierce take on fashion to people around the world. Catching this creative momentum, Aldo and Margherita Furlanetto founded a small leather goods company in the stylish city of Bologna, a small company called Furla, whose buttery leather handbags would soon come to represent the ultimate in feminine luxury.
In 1955, Furla's first store opened on the Via Ugo Bassi in Bologne. It was here that the family-run business truly came into its own, showcasing Furla's immaculate pieces in an atmosphere that reflected the spirit of the individuals behind its creation. By the mid-'70s, Aldo's children had taken the reins, imbuing the collection with innovative designs and modern materials. Furla continued full-speed-ahead as it established shops in Rome, Paris and New York, and garnered a cult following among style mavens across the globe. Today, traditional craftsmanship and clean lines remain marks of the house as Furla unfurls Italian elegance on us all.
