Our Heritage of Excellence
For over 100 years, Restelli Guanti has been synonymous with timeless elegance and unparalleled craftsmanship. The journey began with Piero Restelli and his wife, opening a boutique near the iconic Duomo, in Milan. Their vision was to create leather gloves that embodied the wishes and tastes of each discerning customer. Back then, gloves were not merely accessories but symbols of sophistication, indispensable for every occasion.
Piero Restelli’s unwavering dedication to sourcing the finest leathers and his deep respect for artisanal craftsmanship set the foundation for a legacy that would redefine the glove industry. Our factory, complete with its own tannery, ensured meticulous attention to every detail of the production process, allowing us to elevate our creations to new heights.
A Legacy of Innovation
The 1950s marked a significant chapter in our history, with Piero Restelli Junior and his wife introducing the groundbreaking Sportswear Collection. The waterproof peccary glove, lined with warm opossum fur, quickly became an emblem of the Italian jet set, propelling Restelli Guanti onto the global stage.
Our relentless pursuit of perfection drives us to continually innovate, blending traditional techniques with modern materials. Every glove we craft is a testament to our commitment to quality, embodying the same passion, emotion, and expertise that have been at the heart of our brand for over a century.
Craftsmanship for Today and Tomorrow
Now in our third generation, Raffaella Restelli continues to embrace the challenges of a new era, where market dynamics and consumer expectations are ever-evolving. Upholding our cherished traditions while infusing fresh perspectives, she is ensuring each pair of gloves reflects our enduring values of beauty, durability, and timeless elegance.
At Restelli Guanti, we believe that our gloves are not just products but works of art. They are crafted with love, patience, and a deep respect for our heritage, just for you. Wearing our gloves is not just wearing an accessory; you are embracing a legacy of premium Italian leather, 100-year-old craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence that transcends generations.
