Vivolo: materials, culture and responsibility

Led by two generations of family governance, Vivolo has not simply stood the test of time: it has anticipated it. From the first leather patch made from industrial waste in the 1970s to a range that now includes over 15 million accessories produced every year.

Based in San Lazzaro di Savena (BO), in a 10,000 m² building where nature inhabits the production spaces, Vivolo operates through a vertically integrated model: every stage, from design to prototyping, from the choice of materials to production and quality control, is managed in-house, allowing for maximum flexibility, record prototyping times (24 hours) and a tailor-made service for partners and fashion houses around the world.

In 2025, the company published its first Sustainability Report (2023-2024), a concrete and voluntary testimony to a commitment that spans every area of the company. The document, drawn up in accordance with EFRAG standards, provides a transparent and integrated view of the company. In addition, it has defined a multi-year ESG roadmap that includes, in addition to the annual sustainability report, the digitisation of traceability and greater transparency throughout the supply chain, investments in responsible innovation (new regenerated and bio-based materials, solvent-free technologies and low-impact machinery), as well as the expansion of training partnerships with schools and institutions to promote a culture of circular design.
