Our Story

An idea born from the passion for quality and Italian craftsmanship.

HOW THE IDEA WAS BORN

After working for years in the luxury knitwear sector, we realised that the steps of the traditional distribution chain raise prices considerably, making quality accessible to few. Hence our idea, to create a high quality Italian product without compromise, at an affordable price.

WHERE WE MAKE THEM

We leave from Milan to arrive in the heart of Umbria. Umbria has always been the most important Italian district for knitwear of excellence, here some of the most prestigious Italian knitwear brands are born. The master knitters have been handing down this art from father to son for generations, and the passion for this ancient craft can be felt in every corner; in the bars, in the squares, it is easy to come across discussions about yarns and knitting. It is from here, together with a family of master craftsmen, that our collaboration began, to transmit their tradition and passion directly to you.

THE STYLE

What we make is what represents us, identifies us and distinguishes us. With this philosophy we create our collection, offering a style that recalls the Milanese appeal and the Umbrian tradition at the same time, inspired by the Italian glamour of Dolce Vita, and destined to the man who loves a timeless style, far from fashion, and values the uncompromised quality.

THE MEANING OF BOTTEGIANI WORD

Bottegiani is not just a name, but it is the union of the two words that best represent our world: bottega (workshop) and artigiani (artisans). We are not a brand, we are artisans, who, in their workshop, every day, create with their own hands, as they used to do in the past. We try to transmit our passion, our tradition and our knowledge through the care, sometimes almost maniacal, for each detail, finished by hand, with the aim to create something of value and special that will last a lifetime.
