Furla, tradition that is constantly renewed.
 
Furla today a genuine Italian company based in Bologna  yet a leader on the international stage. Creativity strictly made in Italy and an essential  innovative style that has made its mark all over the world.

Furla was created by the Furlanetto family over 80 years ago and is one of the few Italian firms today that still maintains family ownership combined with a modern managerial structure. It is the source of an outpouring of dynamism on all fronts: entrepreneurship, distribution and communication. The company is constantly evolving and at the same time rich in tradition with a long history.

The history of Furla begins in Italy in 1927 in the erudite and sophisticated city of Bologna. Protagonists Aldo and Margherita  Fulanetto set themselves the challenge of starting a company- one that was eventually to grow into a world-renowned leather-goods brand. It was the post-war period and the company aimed to provide women with any type of fashion object or accessory that they may desire. It was an adventure  first commercial then industrial  which was inextricably linked to the lifestyle of the times. The company was able to follow the rhythms and evolution of society until the economic boom  narrating the story of its customs through Furla’s own products.
 
In 1955 Aldo opened the first Furla store on Via UgoBassi in the heart of Bologna.In the Nineteen Seventies  when the baton was passed on to his children Giovanna  Carlo and Paolo Furlanetto  the first collection of bags marked with the Furla logo was launched. Thanks to their avant-garde stylistic choices  unusual production methods and the use of atypical materials such as nylon and rubber  success came immediately. It was a decisive change of vision and strategy that met the needs of a new society  with stronger  independent  emancipated women who paid attention to emerging fashions. The collections grew at the same pace as the company. It was the dawning of the Nineteen Eighties.Giovanna flanked her father with her own stylistic contributions  while Carlo and Paolo were mostly in charge of the brand's strategy for growth. Furla invented a new concept of luxury that was close to every woman and immediately became an international "must." High quality  classic lines and functionality were the distinguishing features of the bags in their collections.After Bologna, Rome and Paris, the store on Madison Avenue in New York was opened.
 
In the Nineteen Eighties a far-sighted distribution network was in the planning stages. Today it covers no less than 63 foreign markets from Europe to Asia and the United States  with 5 subsidiaries  319 single-brand Furla boutiques positioned on the most important international shopping streets and 1,290 sales outlets from shops to department stores. In late 2008 the company also inaugurated its pan-European web boutique and an international expansion plan that saw the opening of major flagship stores in Rome  London  Hong Kong and Beijing.

The new managerial organization and the innovation-filled company vision have led Furla to cultivate a strong commitment both to art and to the promotion of young talents in fashion design. In 2008 the Fondazione Furla was created which promotes the Premio Furla per l’Arte award aimed at emerging Italian artists on the contemporary scene.

In the meantime  the international commercial and distribution strategies have led- and continue to lead- to growing success. In 2011 the company recorded a turnover of 179 million Euros  a goal achieved with full respect for the Italian design that remains at the heart of every decision.
