Circular economy/vintage service

Buy less, buy well.

 

We have always been recognized as, “Brugnoli who? Those of the shoes ".

We often serve customers, who tell us about when they accompanied their father to buy shoes, the real ones, from Brugnoli to Balduina and which today have inherited that heritage of objects and culture that brings them back to us.

We often talk to customers who still have shoes purchased by us 20 years earlier and who are struggling to "die"

This is where we started ... from how to give value to this small result obtained through years of research and passion for beautiful and well-made things.

We found the answer, as always, in shoes.

We have put them at the center of everything and around us we have created a real circular economy with technical flows, which as per definition is:

"An economic system designed to be able to regenerate itself. The main objectives of the circular economy are the extension of the life of products, the production of long-lasting goods, reconditioning activities and the reduction of waste production. It also insists on the importance of selling services rather than products, referring to the concept of the "functional service economy", which falls within the broader notion of "performance economy".

This is why our VINTAGE SERVICE was born.

We take back your "old" shoes, giving them an economic value based on the state of use, the interventions to be carried out, the construction of the shoe and the materials. So yes, we don't care about the brand or where it was first bought, the important thing is that it is a well-made shoe.

With a little care and attention, but also with some little tricks of the trade, we put them back in shape, ready to accompany the new owners on their streets.

Once the sale has been made (at the predetermined value), the old owner can spend the entire amount by choosing any product from our collection, whether new or vintage.

In this way we offer a service to those who may not wear those shoes anymore, or simply want to change them, thus making them amortize costs.

At the same time, we are empowering new generations to buy expensive brands that might not have been able to buy new ones.

Or for true enthusiasts, there are models or shapes or colors that are no longer produced today and therefore extreme rarity.

But above all ... we want to make people understand the importance of buying beautiful and well-made things. Moving away from this idea of ​​fast fashion and large numbers that has been damaging the entire supply chain for years.

Footwear and garments made according to old traditions and with research and quality materials, grow and live with us our days, our first appointments, the ceremonies to remember, dinners with friends, travel by car, and many other occasions that only what is able to last twenty years can do it.

So guys, buy less but buy well, buy nice things, buy well made things and when you are tired of them, do not throw them away.
