Stefano Ricci

Stefano Ricci (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsteːfano ˈrittʃi]) is a private family-owned Italian luxury lifestyle brand with headquarters located in Fiesole, right outside Florence. With 78 monobrand boutiques worldwide, the brand produces menswear and accessories, a line for juniors "SR Junior", homeware "SR HOME" and lifestyle products. The brand also offers bespoke and interior design services for both yachts and residences. Stefano Ricci S.p.A. was rated as EE (average) by the London-based Standard Ethics agency for three consecutive years 2015, 2016, and 2017. The New York Times calls Stefano Ricci "clothier to the 0.001 percent".

Stefano Ricci S.p.A. employs over 800 people worldwide, and the 9000 square metre headquarters consist of office and production facilities. By 2010, Stefano Ricci S.p.A. had acquired the Antico Setificio Fiorentino S.r.l., a historic silk-weaving mill located in the Oltrarno area of Florence.

The Stefano Ricci company was founded in 1972 by Florentine designer and Knight of the Order of Merit for Labour, Stefano Ricci, and his wife Claudia. Their first business location was in the family home on Via dei Niccoli, in Florence; the location remains open as the company's bespoke tailoring atelier. The current CEO is the Founder's eldest son, Niccolò Ricci, while the Creative Director, Filippo Ricci, is the founder's youngest son.

The brand's first boutique was opened in Shanghai at the Ritz Carlton hotel in 1993, introducing the brand to the Chinese market. In February 2018 Stefano Ricci inaugurated its 60th monobrand boutique in Hong Kong, located in The Peninsula Hotel. Other flagship stores followed, including Beverly Hills (2001), New York (2005), Florence and Milan (2009), Moscow and Baku (2013), London (2016), and Vancouver (2018). All Stefano Ricci boutiques are characterised by a use of hand-worked materials such as Californian briar-root wood with brown and black variants, Tuscan travertine, pietra serena, and crocodile leather.

The company's original production was based on Italian handmade ties, with the first commercial collection debuting at Pitti Uomo in 1974.

Every Stefano Ricci product is manufactured 100% Made in Italy , including the design, manufacture and finishing of merchandise. The company produces dress shirts, handmade ties, suits, casualwear, sportswear, outerwear, footwear, leather goods, eyewear, cufflinks, fragrances, wine, stationery, tableware, crystalware, fine linens, and furniture.

The company has a specialized internal workshop for goldsmiths and silversmiths, who create precious belt buckles, hardware for leather goods, and home items, all according to the Florentine tradition.

The symbol of Stefano Ricci is the eagle, an emblematic trait for the brand, which is found on merchandise as well as the store mannequins which display bronze eagle heads.
