Made in Italy specialist

The difficult interpretation of simplicity.

Mainly focused on the basis of the "normcore" style made up of everyday garments, comfortable, practical, with neutral colors that are never too flashy, basic garments and never too tight-fitting, the Renato Borzatta collections do not hide some interference from different styles, with some garment that allows you to express a certain type of "free eccentricity" even in the routine of daily life.

The Renato Borzatta collections meet those looking for a "personal style" that goes far beyond simple appearance and without "frills", those looking for something that comes from within, as a more intimate expression of their personality.

RENATO BORZATTA – Italy since 1978 –

An Italian story of elegance, family and craftsmanship passion

The origins: at the lake, an act of love

It was in the 1930s, on the shores of Como Lake. A time when crafts were passed on manually and the most precious teachings passed through the silence of making. Renato Belgeri, a passionate and visionary craftsman, opened a small workshop where he created collections of ties with a care verging on devotion. For him, every knot was a symbolic gesture. Every seam, a signature. The tie became his way of speaking to the world, without raising his voice. Day after day, in the quiet of his workshop, he perfected an art that was made of invisible details and measured gestures, involving soft silks and elegant patterns, precision and soul.

The number of customers increased. The workshop became a small landmark. However, Renato Belgeri was not satisfied with just creating ties: he wanted to build something that would last. So, in the following years, he founded a small company, BRC Renato Belgeri (Belgeri Renato Cravatte), in the nearby village of Rebbio, just a few minutes from the city of Como.

BRC Company: a laboratory of ideas

BRC was more than a business: it was a home for all those who shared a passion for excellence. Every day, under the roof of the workshop, they worked on the creation of their silk ties, taking care of them as sacred objects. Renato personally selected the fabrics in several Como workshops, where in the past, he had learnt how to recognize the best silks.

Success was not long in coming. Renato expanded his range of products, adding silk scarves and foulards and he began several cooperations with international designers, who created for him exclusive designs to develop his accessories.

BRC began to export throughout Europe, America and even Japan. The BRC tie became synonymous with classy and premium craftsmanship. However, another wish was growing in Renato Belgeri: to pass on his know-how and everything that he had built to those who, like him, would understand its deeper value.

1978: the gift of a lifetime

In 1977, Grandpa Renato passed away peacefully, leaving his family with the responsibility and the honour to continue the legacy that he had built with such dedication and foresight. Shortly before he died, he made a precise request: that his grandson, who would arrive shortly afterwards, should bear his name and be educated in work and beauty, so that one day, he would understand his heritage.

That child was born in 1978: Renato Borzatta, son of one of his daughters. For the whole family, and especially for those who had known Grandpa Renato's quiet strength, it was much more than a birth. It was a sign of continuity, a spark of the future, the dream's promise that would not be interrupted.

"RENATO BORZATTA - Italy since 1978" was the brand that the family envisioned for their future. It was not a commercial venture, but an act of love: a seed planted in time, waiting to grow.

Renato Borzatta grew up in this way: among scraps of silk, wooden benches, patiently threaded needles. The workshop was his playground, his grandfather a living figure in the family's daily history, his example a silent compass. He spent every summer there, absorbing every detail like a sponge. He couldn't imagine yet that this world would have become his own.

The end of the 1990s: the passing of the baton

Not many words were needed when the family handed Renato the keys of the workroom. They just told him: "Make sure that everything that comes out of here says who you are".It was then, at the end of the 1990s, that Renato Borzatta began to transform the brand into something new, following his grandfather's vision. He didn't just want to continue the business: he wanted to extend the soul of craftsmanship to new forms, new materials, new horizons.

This is how the first collections of genuine leather Made in Italy handbags were born. A refined debut designed to last. Every bag was cut and sewn by hand, made of Italian chrome and vegetable tanned leather, with premium metal accessories. At the same time, he completed the offer with the collection's development of caps, beanies, knitted scarves, belts, wallets, key rings, backpacks, shoulder bags and many other items: a world of accessories designed for those who love authentic elegance.

Today: the value of things well done

Today, RENATO BORZATTA is recognised as a symbol of timeless style, appreciated worldwide for its discretion, consistency and quality. However, the heart of the brand has remained the same: each piece is made by hand, from experience and memory.

His collections are characterised by a perfect balance between functionality and poetry. They don't follow fashion trends: they cross through them, leaving a true mark. Behind every creation, there is a deep thought: to do things well, with respect for those who will wear them, for those who created them, for the world that will host them.

The commitment to sustainability is concrete: natural materials, responsible production, recyclable packaging and a short supply chain made up of real relationships. Every choice is considered. Every detail is essential. Because the real beauty, now more than ever, is what stands the test of time.

A promise

RENATO BORZATTA - Italy since 1978 - is a promise never to betray its own history, never to compromise, to continue creating objects that speak to the people's heart.

It is the voice of a grandfather that lives on in his grandson's work. It is the mark of skilful hands that build the future every day with the same passion as in the past.

It is an invitation to choose what is true. What lasts. What is made to stay.

Today

Renato Borzatta's creations can be found in boutiques in over 50 Countries around the world.

The last decade's challenge has been to make the distribution as democratic as possible, giving everyone the opportunity to access the offer without any significant financial commitment. The focus is on independent retailers, who choose with care and personal attention what they want to offer to customers, made up of people with different needs and tastes, far from the tendency of recent years to standardise proposals and impose styles and trends on deadline.
