Claudio Orciani

The Brand's founder and creative spirit.
With his drive to surprise, experiment and innovate, his belief in a project has transformed it into the successful business we see today.
Every product is born from his passion, with its indissoluble blend of craftsmanship and creativity.

“Back in 1978 I was 23 years old and was desperately looking for a belt to suit a young man of my age; in the end, I decided to make one myself, with a piece of leather I got from a cobbler. The belt caught the eye of a friend of mine who had a boutique, and she encouraged me to make some more. I looked at the calendar and I'll never forget that date; it was 15 January 1979.”

The world of art

An eclectic figure who stands apart from the crowd, Claudio Orciani has also worked with famous artists Arnaldo Pomodoro, Mario Ceroli and Valeriano Trubbiani to produce a limited edition of three "art" belts. This was back in 1997, as the book with introduction by Gillo Dorfles tells us.

Rock music and its spirit are also a source of inspiration for Orciani, who creates artistic guitars by combining parts of belts, bags, gloves, wallets and research prototypes.

The environmental footprint

Orciani is also a business that protects nature and uses alternative energy sources. Its plant has a photovoltaic system supplying a geothermal unit to provide heating or cooling. Our company uses 100% renewable energy, with EECS-GO certification.
