The history of the a.testoni brand began in 1929 and is tied to Amedeo Testoni, the enterprising owner of a sophisticated shop of high-quality handmade men’s shoes in Bologna.
Today a.testoni is very different from the past and thanks to its design and commercial organisation, the company is one of the most important active realities in the footwear sector.
Present worldwide, with over 70 single brand points of sale, the company has placed shoes, leather goods and accessories on the Japanese, Far East and USA markets within an internationalisation and globalisation plan that represents today around 85% of the Group’s overall turnover.
As of today, a.testoni is a complete and well-structured reality, symbol of Made in Italy worldwide and it preserves that exclusive heritage of craftsmanship and attention to the quality of leather, the construction and materials that have made it a well-known name in the luxury international panorama.
The company has moved forward as well. Today, the bologna-based factory is still the beating heart but a production reality has developed around it, provided with a unique know how made of advanced creativity, design, engineering for the product: experience, technical expertise and innovative ideas allow developing internally collections and products of excellence.
On the strength of 80 years of history that places it as a high level brand, the company has developed a two-track project at the same time:
– the progressive expansion of the single brand network by opening shops in Asia (among which Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore), Eastern and Western Europe, underscoring the brand’s internationality thanks to seven subsidiary companies;
– the design’s general renewal that has reached its peak with the addition of some lines reflecting more the buyer’s profile, more attentive to a contemporaneous style.
The company has also developed a distribution plan aimed at multi brand channels therefore it is present in selected multi brand shops in the Middle East, where a single brand shop has been inaugurated, and in Western and Eastern Europe.
Today a.testoni is footwear, leather goods, bags, wallets, belts, accessories for men and women, high quality products with three distinguishing top range lines for men’s shoes, Amedeo Testoni and Black Label, besides products made in exotic leather like ostrich, and crocodile that require a great expertise for their processing, in which a.testoni is specialised.
In Italy a.testoni is present in prestigious multibrand shops and has two single brand shops in Rome, in Via Condotti no.80, and Milan, in Via Montenapoleone no. 19. The a.testoni showroom is also located in Milan, in via Montenapoleone no.1.
