ciesse piumini

Founded in 1976 in Borgo a Buggiano, Italy, by Silvano Cinelli, Ciesse Piumini is a sportswear brand with a deep heritage in outdoor and technical apparel. The name "Ciesse" derives from the founder's initials. Initially specializing in processing natural down, the brand evolved to create high-performance sportswear for skiing and mountaineering, becoming the first Italian company to use Gore-Tex. A significant moment in its history was outfitting the first Italian expedition to Antarctica. The brand's logo, a liger, symbolizes its core values of strength, elegance, and curiosity. After gaining popularity among Italian youth in the 1980s as a fashion statement, the company faced financial difficulties and went through several ownership changes, including being acquired by Fila and later by investment funds. Following a relaunch, the brand has focused on its authentic heritage, combining technical innovation with contemporary urban style to appeal to a modern consumer. Today, its collections fuse nature and city life, offering a range of outerwear known for quality materials and performance.
