History
Our history: a family business founded in 1985
Cieffe was founded in 1985 by Enza Gallina, the current President. Enza drew inspiration from her mother, a seamstress who raised her seven daughters alone, passing down her passion for work, determination, and curiosity.
Our story starts in a small 100-square-meter workshop abuzz with the cutting, sewing and fitting activities carried out for Cieffe’s first important American customer: Michael Kors. Etro came next, starting a loyal partnership cemented over the years that fueled the house’s growth. Since those early years, the values ​​of beauty and efficiency reflect the quintessence of Cieffe.
In 2005 Marco Panzeri, Enza’s son and current CEO, joins the company, infusing a new boost in different areas, investing heftily in the Research and Development divisions, and starting new collaborations with international clients.
Today Cieffe is a strategic partner of the leading luxury groups, from Kering to LVMH, and of the most prestigious international brands, developing their men's and women's Ready-to-Wear collections.
