Rome, Italy - Giancarlo Petriglia won the eighth edition of Who is On Next? in the handbags category. The Italian designer said: "My dream is to make my brand grow and become a new way to interpret the handbag as an accessory."

BRAND PROFILE

The brand was founded in 2011 by GIANCARLO PETRIGLIA, originating from a project of the designer who also lends his name. The brand identity of the label already starts with its logo in which two parallel griffins meet the gaze of mythology, where it is the griffin to pull Apollo's chariot, being the guardian "of gold and the most precious things of the world."

It is from this concept of preciousness that the ethics of Giancarlo Petriglia's brand derive and of which the designer specifies his moral "I want to personally guarantee the quality of the product, dedicating my love and promise of success to every piece of my collection, the products and leathers".

The "Made in Italy" marks another point in favor of the brand which sees its products skillfully assembled and produced in the city of Palermo, in Sicily, a place of which the designer wanted to discover local craftsmanship and emotions. "My dream, which I hope to see come true soon, is to retain, under the aegis of the brand Giancarlo Petriglia, also collections for men and women", says furthermore Giancarlo who proposes, for next Autumn / Winter 2012 - 2013, the second collection of accessories.
