In 1965 in Lyon, Alain Schimel founded ZILLI investing in the workshop of an Italian tailor, Teofilo Zilli. ZILLI launched the luxury leather jacket and the sporty chic style with a single desire: to remain faithful to the culture of quality. This heritage is ceaselessly present today in all the workshops. From the selection process right through to adding the Haute Couture finishing touches, exclusive and rare materials require a rare form of expertise that the experienced artisans have perfected over the years. International development has led to new lines being created: shirts and made-to-measure shirts, suits, knitwear, jeans, shoes, ties, leather goods, luggage, jewellery and eyewear etc.
