Bruno Magli is an Italian luxury house that specialised in shoes and leather goods for men and women. Since 2015, the brand is owned by Marquee Brands, which is headquartered in New York City.
History
Founded in 1936, siblings Marino, Mario and Bruno started a small business in the basement of their home in Bologna, Italy, after learning the art of shoemaking from their grandfather. The trio began to accept contract work until the first Magli Shoe Factory (Calzaturificio Magli) was established later that same year.
In 1947, shortly after World War Two, the company built their first manufacturing facility.
In 1969, the company moved to a more modern factory in Bologna.
From the 1980s onwards, the Magli company opened over forty retail stores located throughout the United States, Australia, China and Europe.
