Presentazione dell'azienda

The passion of Patrizia Bambi (Creative Director) combined with the entrepreneurial spirit of Claudio Orrea (President), culminated in the creation of Importante Azienda.

Florence, 1993.

The name "Pepe" was immediately identified with an irreverent sensuality, Importante Azienda of contrasts and opposites.

From this moment on, women could now recognise themselves in a brand which seamlessly combines everyday practicality with glamour for all those important moments, from morning to evening, thanks to the collection's dual versatility and cutting silhouettes.

A new idea of a woman, our woman, is brought to life:

sensual, irreverent, courageous and self-aware.

Conscious of her own body, she pursues a holistic vision of well-being.

Ironic and urban, she loves to experiment.

She brandishes a strong, independent spirit and is an idealist.

In a short time, Importante Azienda proved itself capable of creating iconic garments of indisputable originality, recognisable and appreciated over the year.
