Giobagnara is an Italian luxury brand founded by Giorgio Bagnara, specializing in leather home accessories. Drawing on a family history in luxury living, the brand applies experience from the fashion industry to create a range of leather goods, including trays, wallets, furniture, and lighting. Its designs are known for their elegance, variety of colors, and blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
The brand balances heritage and innovation, with Giorgio Bagnara exploring new technical possibilities while relying on the skill of the company’s craftspeople. Over time, Giobagnara has worked on bespoke projects with interior decorators, as well as yacht and jet designers.
In 2015, the brand expanded its expertise through the acquisition of Rabitti 1969, a specialist in saddle leather. Today, nearly twenty years after its founding, Giobagnara offers a wide range of leather home accessories and continues to evolve its collection.
