"Ruffo to Relaunch
by Luisa Zargani
MILAN ? After a two-year hiatus, Ruffo owner Giacomo Corsi is relaunching the brand, as well as the Ruffo Research experimental line.
With new management in place, Corsi is finalizing an agreement with a designer who will be in charge of the Ruffo Research line, while Ruffo will be designed by an in-house team. Corsi also plans to reopen the brand’s shuttered Milan boutique off Via Montenapoleone.
Ruffo in the past has supplied leatherwear to designers such as Prada, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli, but was hit hard by low-cost competition and outsourcing.
Ruffo Research was introduced in 1998 and suspended in 2003... "
