about

We started superleggero out of the most basic reasons: necessity!
Living and riding in very cold towns, like Bolzano in the Dolomiti and Zürich in the Swiss Alps,
it was a basic necessity to wear something very warm, breathable, high performing and at the same time, something so chic, elegant and minimal to be worn on the way to the office, grocery store or a special dinner date.
Our mood is deeply rooted in art, design and fashion, in close liaison with heritage sportswear and iconic cycling design. Ranging from cashmere and Australian Merino blends to luxury fibres like silk, from its iconic beanie zero to the super desirable silk foulard leggera classica the brand upholds the ideal of elegance, freedom and lightness, combining meticulous Italian craftsmanship, innovation, attention to detail and centuries old expertise. Every superleggero product is a work of art!

Back in 2008 we started with our first zero sprinter.

 

 

Balaclavas, beanies, snoods and oversized scarves
We were the first to introduce the term «snood» in the fashion world. 
Designed as a modern combination between a neck warmer and a beanie, the snood is an evolution of the classic «berretta». And we were the first to use the properties and qualities of
the cashmere in a sportswear accessory, a luxury mix of Australian extra-fine merino wool and cashmere made in Italy, minimal design and our iconic design codes. The result is our beanie and snood-very warm, yet still very breathable and very lightweight, easy to be folded and put in your bag or your pocket, unisex and passe-partout, to wear while riding each morning, but also having a touch of sporty elegance for late afternoon or evening. And because we are not a «pro», deliberately kept simple and uncluttered by fancy logos or similar decorative elements.
A perfect mix of tradition, aesthetic purity and chic minimalism, with a clean and contemporary mood.
Our first collection zero is inspired by the iconic colours of the most famous cycling races: 
zero azzurra, the old jersey of the Nazionale, zero rosa and zero ciclamino, the jerseys worn by the leader and the best scalatore at the Giro d‘Italia, zero 1933, the yellow of the jersey worn by the leader at the Paris-Nice, zero roubaix, the beige of the cobbles, mud and dust of the Paris-Roubaix, zero rouleur, the grey of the asphalt. Available as beanie and snood, the collection is made of 70% Australian extra-fine merino wool and 30% Italian cashmere.
For the next 2025/2026 winter we introduced three new collections, équipe and mondiale both inspired by the iconic striped cycling jerseys worn in the '70s and '80s and baroudeur a collection of balaclavas dedicated to the «cagoule» the winter face mask used during cold winter trainings and glorious spring races like Paris-Nice and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Stay unique, stay warm!

 

Handbags, shoulder-bags and mini-bags
With the collection flâneur we have brought into the city and daily life the handbags 54, the shoulder-bags 38 and the shoulder-bag 33 and the mini-bags and pouches mini contemporary slants on the iconic cyclists’ bag, turning it into a convenient, refined, and elegant accessory.
Made in Italy, of 100% heavyweight Italian cotton canvas, silkscreen-printed in Como (Lombardia, Italy – a true «terra di ciclismo») using the old traditional technique stampa a quadro alla comasca  the collection is available in seven sizes and our iconic design codes: polkadot, critérium, grandprix, T90 and race leader. 
The idea was to create something new, unique, radically different, both for man and woman, minimal and modern, ecologically correct and made in Italy using the world's finest and rarest raw materials.

Travel light, stay chic!

 

Foulards, carrés and chokers
The collection leggera is part of the same project, we use a natural, very light and very breathable material, with a minimal and modern design, to wear in spring or early fall as a very
chic fashion accessory.
For our collection we use the super chic and fabulous "mussola di seta" a 100% silk, warped, woven, milled and silkscreen-printed in Como (Lombardia, Italy – a true «terra di ciclismo») using the old traditional technique stampa a quadro alla comasca.
The collection is available in three sizes: leggera classica, leggera carré and leggera tubolare all in our three iconic design codes: polkadot, critérium, grandprix and the brand new race leader.

Stay silky, stay chic!

 

 

Jewelry
We wouldn’t be complete without a modern and contemporary jewelry array.
We issue ornamento dinamico a serie of three sparkling yet minimal necklaces all in real sterling silver, entirely hand-crafted in Vicenza(Italy), starting from the grains of silver and inspired by the simple and minimal interlacing spokes of a bicycle.

Stay shiny, stay chic!

 

Atelier
Atelier is our laboratory for new ideas, experiments and projects. 
Selected icons are dis-assembled and new assembled using different fabrics and materials.
All the products are created mixing artisan skill and innovation ability, limited only by the imagination. Our first project hors catégorie is a new generation of UNIDENTIFIED FASHION OBJECTS, inspired by cult sci-fi movies, 60's tv shows, 60's and 70's styles and materials, re-worked and adapted to our contemporary spirit.
