AZZURRA GRONCHI

Azzurra Gronchi is a Tuscan brand of bags, a guarantee of high-quality, sophisticated Made in Italy craftsmanship. Azzurra’s training as a pattern maker at Centro Formazione Professionale and later as a designer and product manager at Polimoda resulted in her desire to create her own-name brand. Her family’s renowned tannery, Samanta, a prominent Tuscan industry, specializing in the production of high-quality printed leathers, served as the perfect training ground to fine-tune her sense of aesthetics. Collaborations with Dolce&Gabbana, Costume National and Ferragamo gave shape to her creative skills, while her innate determination did the rest.
