Creating a brand

The history of the Canali brand dates back to the 30s of the twentieth century. The brand was a logical extension of the family business, which was run by brothers Giovanni and Giacomo Canali. Initially, the brothers planned to open their own studio, where they wanted to sew jackets and strict suits that were then in fashion. But none of them expected that a small atelier that started out as a family business would turn into a major life-long business for themselves and their descendants.

The first studio opened in Triujo. It was a tiny room that barely contained everything you needed. Kanali had a good start. Their studio quickly gained popularity. The demand for their clothing grew every day and in the middle of the twentieth century, their business turned from local to well-known throughout the fashion world. And all thanks to the diligence and skill of tailors, which were combined with innovative technologies and long-standing Italian tailoring traditions.

However, despite the universal love and recognition, Canali was in no hurry to leave their native Italian market. They managed to" cut a window " to Europe and America only in 1970. Then the company's management realized that in order to further develop and improve the quality of its products, they needed access to other fashion markets. The Canali brand appeared in America, France, England and Switzerland, where it gained unprecedented fame. Then the brand's products began to spread across Canada and even the Middle East.

In the 90s, the company began to think about expanding its product range. Until then, the brand specialized exclusively in men's outerwear and jackets, but now it has moved on to creating a variety of accessories. At the same time, the brand's first branded boutique opens in Milan.

In the 00s of the XXI century, Canali clothing also came to Russia. In addition, the brand's boutiques appear in China and India. At the same time, the brand launches a line of sportswear, and also presents its unique novelty in many ways – the Kei jacket. The brand also has its own perfume launch.

More than once, the management of the Canali brand has mentioned that the most important thing for them is the high quality of their products, elegance and elegance of style, work on details and constant striving for perfection. I must say that the brand really does not change its long-standing philosophy. The Canali style has remained unchanged for more than eight decades.
