about
An independent manifesto.
Founded in Zurich in 2006, Superleggero is a design project before being a fashion brand.
Art, contemporary design, sportswear heritage and cycling culture from the '80s and '90s have shaped its identity from the beginning.
The name Superleggero means more than physical lightness.
It expresses a way of conceiving, creating and making: reducing each object to its essentials, refining every detail and creating products designed to last, beyond seasons and trends.
Each collection begins with extensive iconographic research, countless sketches and prototypes.
Only when we are completely convinced and fully satisfied with the result is a new product added to the collection.
The same approach guides our visual identity. We deliberately avoid visible logos.
Our products are recognised through their proportions, materials, colours and forms, rather than by a logo.
The choice of typeface reflects the same philosophy. Helvetica Neue Extrafein was chosen for its clarity, precision and exceptional visual lightness — a discreet nod to the name Superleggero.
Beautiful things have no gender.
We create accessories defined by function, proportions and character. A printed silk scarf, a shoulder bag or a cashmere beanie do not belong to a men's or women's wardrobe: they belong to those who recognise their quality.
Elegance is a matter of attitude, not labels.
We work exclusively with certified, highly specialised Italian companies, custodians of a manufacturing expertise refined over time.
Silks are woven and printed in Como, then cut, sewn and hand-hemmed in Saronno.
Beanies and scarves are made in the Marche, a region with a long tradition of Italian knitwear.
Labels and metal components are produced by local suppliers, just a few kilometres from the workshops where our products are made.
A short, transparent supply chain, deeply rooted in the local area.
We do not follow seasons.
We do not follow trends.
We design objects made to last.
Every product is designed to be worn, used and kept for many years.
The Superleggero universe awaits.
