Poche settimane fa abbiamo ricevuto la visita di Ivan Carvalho, giornalista del mensile inglese di business e cultura e design Monocle che nel numero in edicola racconta le eccellenze della moda che operano nella città di Milano. Ne è nata una bella intervista con Piero, il capostipite della famiglia Restelli, papà di Raffaella che ha raccolto il testimone dell’azienda come rappresentante della terza generazione di glove makers. Ma anche se lo scettro è passato di mano l’energia, la voglia di lavorare e di creare non si sono sopiti in Piero Restelli, la cui esperienza è fondamentale anche oggi.

The ski and driving gloves are sought after in markets ranging from Japan to Switzerland, and Piero Restelli also makes sure they are available through Milan’s leading retailers, including the renowned department store La Rinascente. <<“It is an institution, just like us.”>>. he adds.
