Founded in 1953 by Florentine tailor Giancarlo Ballerini, Giab's began as a trouser manufacturer in Campi Bisenzio, Italy, and grew to produce for major international luxury fashion houses. While the parent company has a long heritage, the contemporary brand Giabsarchivio was launched in 2010 to revitalize the market. This new chapter, guided by the founder's son Bruno Ballerini and Japanese creative director Jumpei Nakaarai, merges the tradition of Italian tailoring with a Japanese approach to material research and functionality.
