About Us

The Beginnings

This is La Garzarara’s history, a colorful and creative reality, always thriving as it is its creator Gianluca Pacini, or simply Luca for his friends. It’s a history that involves two generations, unified by their creative skills and that end up establishing a unique company in the leather business, with a passionate team that is committed to deliver only the best for the customer. Let's stop talking in third person: this is our history, a history made of people and passion.

We founded the business in 1975, in Porto Sant’Elpidio, in the Marche region. At that time Luca’s father started to sell leather to the local district manufacturers, creating a small company full of enthusiasm and passion. Luca inherited that same passiona and in 2000 he took the reins of the company. With time, a bit of luck and dedication, he transformed the starting business in a new and fresh reality, that looks at the future without fear, because it’s well anchored to the roots experience.

La Garzarara

In 2007 La Garzarara was officially born. The name, conceived by Luca over an Italian dinner with a fashion stylist, says a lot about our the company and about our leathers: precious, glittering and exclusive as the objects that derive from them.

Since the beginning the main focus was ‘uniqueness’: colours, textures, finishings, pairings that are meant to impress at first sight. This also meant production in limited editions only. Nowadays, in our samples, you can find both, very special leather hides and more simple hides, suitable for a wide range of uses.

Our customers are from all over the world: stylists, artisans and designers use our leathers to produce shoes, bags, accessories, clothes, pieces of furniture and many other designers objects. We attend some of the most important fairs like Linea Pelle London, Linea Pelle Milan and Futurmoda Alicante.

The leathers that we create are made by skilled hands of expert tanners in laboratories that we personally supervise. As we love to know personally our customers: listening to them, understanding them, talking to them. Because when you are a part of a creative process every aspect matters.
