Tradition, innovation, a pinch of imagination and resourcefulness. These are the main ingredients of Made in Italy
Even in the years of the crisis, success can be challenged. Marco and Davide Bellocco know this well, two young Calabrian stylists who have launched an idea exclusively Made in Italy
Clothes and accessories in cork, wood and bergamot peel exclusively Made in Italy
Marco and Davide Bellocco they are two brothers aged 28 and 19. Originally from Reggio Calabria, they inherited the passion for needles and threads from their maternal grandparents, reinventing it.
They produce clothes and accessories (favors, bags, bookmarks, ties, document holders, clutches) in cork, wood and bergamot peel.
Marco two years ago attended the Faculty of Law, he decided to open a clothing company with his brother Davide. In Italy, however, there are many companies that produce clothing: 67 thousand. According to Confindustria Moda, the sector has an annual turnover of 84 billion euros and Made in Italy stands out at a European level.
So the Bellocco family have come up with original garments that can combine style with the enhancement of natural resources.
What's more "eco" than cork and wood?
The children, to get help, involved their parents, both teachers. At first they were a bit hesitant but then they understood the potential of the two children's project.
The uncle, a lawyer by profession, also joined the company. And 2015 was born the "Marco and Davide". The company, also in the research of fabrics, forges a bond with the territory.
The boys follow the entire production chain, from the collection of materials to packaging. The cutting and sewing operations take place outside the company and rely on selected companies.
