Zanellato
Matter, Art, Memory
- The Zanellato story began in Veneto and has spanned generations, crafts, and transformations
- A journey into the most authentic Made in Italy, where tradition and innovation meet to create bags designed not merely to keep pace with the times, but to live through them
- In 1999, the leadership passed to Franco Zanellato, who extended the range to men’s leather goods, with work bags and briefcases.
- In 2011, he created Postina®: soft and sinuous, inspired by the postman’s bag of the early 20th century, with a slightly angled handle for ergonomic comfort and a gold-plated stud bearing a philatelic engraving. Stitched in the Vicenza district, it has sold more than 500,000 pieces
Some business stories have deep roots, being born from the meeting of a family, a region, and a passion. The Zanellato story began in Veneto and has spanned generations, crafts, and transformations, finding a visionary interpreter in Franco Zanellato. From early experiments with leather to the creation of the Postina® bag—now an icon of Italian design—and on to the pursuit of sustainability and “artisanal intelligence,” this book tells an Italian story defined by creativity, craftsmanship, and passion. It is a journey into the most authentic Made in Italy, where tradition and innovation meet to create bags designed not merely to keep pace with the times, but to live through them.
Arte e Mestieri is Zanellato’s DNA: in an age of ever faster trends, Zanellato brings together beauty, quality and durability in bags designed to be handed down from generation to generation. A family business and the custodian of an outstanding corporate heritage, in 2026 it was recognised as a Marchio Storico di Interesse Nazionale (Historic Brand of National Interest).
