ACBC x Malìparmi represents the fusion of two distinct Italian brands: a modern sustainability pioneer and a heritage fashion house. ACBC, an acronym for "Anything Can Be Changed," was founded in 2017 and quickly became a certified B Corporation, known for its innovative, eco-friendly footwear and its role as a sustainable production partner for major fashion labels. The brand champions the use of animal-free, recycled, and bio-based materials in its sneaker designs. Malìparmi, founded in Padua in 1977 by Marol Paresi, brings a rich history of artisanal craftsmanship and a free-spirited, bohemian style. Inspired by global travels, Malìparmi is defined by its vibrant prints, intricate embroidery, and unique material combinations. The collaboration embeds Malìparmi's eclectic, travel-inspired aesthetic into ACBC's sustainable sneaker silhouettes, creating a product that appeals to a contemporary woman who values both environmental responsibility and distinctive, craft-focused design.

ACBC co-founder Gio Giacobbe discusses the brand's B2B and B2C collaboration model, its successful partnerships with major brands like Chloé and Missoni, and how its focus on sustainability is driving business performance and growth.
