Known for its hotels and restaurants, Fasano has introduced a collection of travel luggage. Conceived by Gero Fasano, Valigeria Fasano features five designs handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy.
The collection includes three rolling suitcases with retractable handles, available in carry-on, medium and large sizes. It also features a duffel bag and a shopping bag designed for everyday use. All five styles come in caramel and tobacco.
The chosen colors and silhouettes reflect a classic aesthetic, with minimal decorative details.
Fasano also emphasizes the quality of the materials and finishes, carrying over the attention to detail that defines its other businesses into the development of the luggage collection.
The pieces are produced in a workshop specializing in fine leather goods, including handbags, luggage and other leather accessories. Tuscany has a long tradition of this craftsmanship, and each piece bears the inscription “Fatta a mano in Toscana, Italia” (Handmade in Tuscany, Italy).
The connection to Italy is deeply rooted in the family’s history. In 1902, Vittorio Fasano, an Italian immigrant from Milan, opened Brasserie Paulista in downtown São Paulo. Years later, his great-grandson Gero continued the family business, which eventually expanded into hospitality.
Today, in addition to its hotels and restaurants, the group offers gourmet products and home accessories through Selezione Fasano, and now adds luggage and bags to its portfolio.
The collection launched on November 5 at CJ Fashion, located in Shopping Cidade Jardim in São Paulo. Following its debut, the pieces also became available at Selezione Fasano stores in CJ Jardins and Catarina Airport.
