Dedicated to the memory of Francesco Trussardi who tragically died soon after recording the interview for Big Boutique.


The house of Trussardi in Milan, Italy, is famous for many things but most of all, it is famous for the impeccable manufacturing of leather goods.

The Trussardi story began in 1910 when Dante Trussardi, master glove-maker, set up his company creating finely made gloves which were soon sold successfully all over the world.

Over the years, Dante’s nephew, Nicola, took over the company and by 1983 had introduced the first women’s collection – a line that has been successful ever since.  


Destiny then thrust the young Trussardis, Beatrice and Francesco into the family business when their father Nicola was killed in a car accident.

Francesco Trussardi is the business administrator of the Group while his sister Beatrice handles the Trussardi Foundation and looks after communication and the image of fashion group.


With the label clearly defined, the brother and sister team began to add a young, modern edge to the designs without once compromising the attention to fine detail.

Each outfit is carefully crafted and given the special Trussardi touch.


This red trench coat is made from leather from chicken’s legs.

Trussardi are a label that are one of the most respected and well known in Italy and the world. 

The Trussardi building in the center of Milan has many functions.  Not only a showroom for the designs themselves – including interiors – it includes a bar, restaurant, café and a wonderful view of the most famous square in Milan – the Piazza del Escala.  

Trussardi goods can be found in stores worldwide.  

With the famous greyhound as it’s symbol, the Trussardi image is one of elegance, modern sophistication and luxury.
