Founded in Lyon, France, in 1965, Zilli began when founder Alain Schimel acquired the workshop of Italian tailor Teofilo Zilli, transforming it into a benchmark for men's luxury. The house quickly distinguished itself with its pioneering leather jackets, establishing a signature 'sport-chic' style that combines exceptional materials with functional elegance. Zilli built its reputation on a foundation of uncompromising quality and artisanal skill, using rare and precious materials like peccary, crocodile, and vicuña to craft its collections. The brand's dedication to craftsmanship is evident in its vertically integrated production, with specialized ateliers in both France and Italy that handle everything from leatherwork to shirtmaking.
