Piquadro: Design, Functionality, and Technology

The history of Piquadro begins in 1987 with Marco Palmieri. At the age of 22, the engineering student founded his own company, which produced leather goods for large brands, including several renowned luxury names. His products were so well-received that after just 10 years, he decided to launch his own brand focused on design, functionality, and technology. This principle has remained unchanged to this day. The result is high-quality, Italian creativity-driven products for everyday use and travel.

More Than Just High-Quality Leather Goods

Admittedly, it was high-quality leather goods that helped the company achieve success. However, you should not think that the brand’s range consists solely of leather products. Nowadays, many other materials like aluminum, nylon, and polyester are used. What they all have in common is excellent craftsmanship. Whether Piquadro wallets, Piquadro backpacks, or Piquadro bags – all of them are based on proven designs: designs that are founded on patents for functional and technical innovations.

Piquadro Suitcases

Almost all Piquadro suitcases are either small trolleys that serve as cabin luggage or large trolleys with a very high volume, designed for tasks in the cargo hold. This volume can reach up to 100 liters, which is significantly higher than most other suitcases. However, despite the large amount of luggage, packing in a Piquadro suitcase is never chaotic. This is ensured by three spacious zipper compartments, two practical laundry compartments, and a expansion zipper for additional volume. Transport is either via the lockable telescopic handle or the two comfortable carry handles. Piquadro suitcases are available in both classic colors like black and eye-catching colors like orange.

Piquadro Bags

If you're not planning a long trip but are simply looking for a companion for everyday use and can do without a Piquadro suitcase, it's worth checking out the brand's bags. Most bags are elegant leather shoulder bags with exterior and interior pockets. Some even feature a padded tablet compartment. An interesting option is also the Piquadro laptop bags, which have a relatively high volume and are well-suited for carrying a laptop, thanks to their layout and special compartments. Since they also make document storage easier, they are perfect for businesspeople. Last but not least, the belt bags made of recycled and durable polyester are worth mentioning. These are ideal for storing important items like cash, travel documents, or keys.

Piquadro Backpacks

Not every Piquadro backpack offers high volume, but most models are very spacious and hold between 40 to 50 liters. Given this volume, it is clear that these backpacks are primarily designed for travelers. However, they don’t just offer plenty of space for clothes; they also have various compartments for documents, electronics, and pens. Almost every Piquadro backpack comes in a classic color like brown, gray, or black. Bright colors like yellow are much rarer. For security reasons, many backpacks feature RFID protection typical for wallets.

Piquadro Wallets

As expected, Piquadro wallets always have RFID protection to prevent the reading of sensitive data like credit card information. The wallets are available in various sizes, with most models being about 10 to 20 centimeters in size. In addition to classic wallets, pure credit card cases are offered. If you don’t like carrying cash, these cases are a great choice. All Piquadro wallets are made from high-quality leather.

Exciting Collections for Women and Men

Piquadro offers collections for both women and men, which differ in terms of design, functionality, and target audience. Currently, the following collections are available:

• Blue Square
• Circle
• Harper
• Lines
• Modus

The Lines collection, with its minimalist designs made from high-quality materials, is primarily aimed at businesspeople. To this end, the products feature functional attributes such as padded laptop compartments with water-repellent coating. However, the other collections are also worth checking out. In addition to these main collections, there are some individual pieces available. Special collections are also released occasionally.

Climate-Neutral Production for a Sustainable Future

A luxury brand should not only use high-quality materials and offer innovative designs but also keep up with the times. This now includes sustainable production that is in line with climate and environmental protection. To ensure this, products like Piquadro suitcases are manufactured in a climate-neutral way. Since it is not possible to fully avoid emissions, environmentally friendly projects are supported to offset CO₂ emissions. Two such projects are a project to prevent deforestation in the Rio Anapu Pacaja and a reforestation project at Fazenda Nascente Do Luar. Both projects are carried out in the Brazilian rainforest and aim to protect biodiversity.

Piquadro Group Sustainability Report

Nearly every large company engages in sustainability efforts to some extent, as it’s also important for their image. Bric‘s offers accessories made from economically sourced materials, and The Bridge uses traditional manufacturing techniques. However, not all companies have a Sustainability Report where you can read in detail about the measures taken for climate and environmental protection. The very detailed Sustainability Report from the company is definitely an argument for nature-conscious customers.
