BORBONESE HERITAGE
A Story of Bourgeois Allure since 1910.
Borbonese is a historic Italian brand of bags and accessories. Founded in Turin in 1910, the brand is universally recognized for its Eye of Partridge Suede (in Italian: Occhio di Pernice or OP), capable of attracting an elegant and cosmopolitan clientele. This imagery of Italian Nonchalance recalls the style of the historical Italian bourgeoisie but is today contextualized in a new era made of greater attention to sustainable commitment and inclusiveness above every generation.
112 YEARS OF HERITAGE
More than a century of history closely related to art and culture starting from the futuristic bag drawing by Giacomo Balla in 1916.
REDIFINING ITALIAN NONCHALANCE
The woman is the main focus of Borbonese collections, thanks to accessories that are no longer just functional objects yet creations that make her self-confident, chic and determined. Italian elegance perfectly blends with contemporary and diversified languages.
DESIGNING THE FUTURE
The Italian bourgeois style is transposed into a new, younger and contemporary era, full of contaminations, yet still rooted in timeless codes. All this to celebrate an independent, elegant and cosmopolitan woman.
