The family-run ltalian company, which produces 8 million articles per year from its facility in San Lazzaro, ended the year 3% down in revenue compared with the year before, which it said was positive considering the downturn in the luxury sector.
Founder Luciano Vivolo said: ”The luxury sector is experiencing a crisis with deeper roots than many might imagine. At Vivolo, we are tackling this situation as we always have, by working patiently, designing, cutting, sewing and creating one piece at a time, but always looking towards the horizon to recognise new opportunities and needs.”
Earlier this year, 12 months after inaugurating its new headquarters, Vivolo announced the expansion of its production department, investing €1 million in new machinery and extra staff to expand its footwear and leathergoods offering. The company also hired extra sales agents in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the Far East, focusing on South Korea and Japan.
Vivolo, which has recently achieved the Oeko-Tex Leather Standard, is drafting its first susta inability report.
“Our goal for 2025 is to ra ise our standards even higher while ho ping fora recovery in the luxury market,~added MrVivolo.
