Bruno Magli: history & brand profile

Brand profile · Luxury Brands Online editorial team

Bruno Magli designs originally began in Bologna, Italy, in a small basement, in the year of 1936. Bruno, Marino and Maria Magli, having had learnt shoe crafting from their grandfather, began crafting shoes. Initially they crafted and designed only women’s shoes, but several years later, in 1947, they began crafting men’s shoes regularly as well. Decades later, the company created a franchising retail network which has now expanded and spread all over Europe, America, and the East. In the men’s line for shoes, there are such styles as the Cadria, the Rampur, the Remanso, the Sassari, the Caboto, the Nerone, the Faradi, the Facto, the Fagagna, the Nacala. There are several different styles for different tastes; for example, the Rampur is a sort of boot that extends until the ankle, but is still very chic and dressy, so one can even wear it with a suit. The Nacala is also a boot, but it is a knee length boot, and more casual than the Rampur. The Nerone is very fancy and can be worn at the office or at a formal social event, while the Faradi is somewhat casual, and has a softer texture to it. The Fagagna is a shoe that can be worn to walk in, for it has laces and is made to fit your foot with comfort. Bruno Magli men’s shoes are very well known and liked, for they offer classy, genuinely crafted shoes that interest a wide array of tastes. The women’s line of shoes also offers different styles and casual as well as formal shoes. The Latifah shoe for women incorporates a very colorful striped pattern, the Cicra shoe for women is an ankle boot and has a cuff on the ankle area, the Anjelica shoe is very similar to the Latifah in that it too incorporates a colorful striped pattern but is open toed and not shaped like a boot. Another style very similar to the Anjelica is the Rise, which has a strap on the back of the foot. The Aileen is a pump with a semi-round toe, and the Joan is a very funky, trendy, and chic knee-length black boot. Other styles in women’s shoes include: Ashley, Jessie, Jacqui, Daisy, Alyson, Breonna, Jacquelyn, Josie, and Shea. In women’s bags, styles include: Day, Diamond, Darly, and Deva.
