ZILLI is a French brand offering a contemporary luxury menswear wardrobe to its discerning clientele. ZILLI launched its iconic leather jacket with a single ambition: to remain faithful to the culture of quality. This legacy continues to thrive in all its workshops across France and Italy. From the selection of rare and exclusive materials to the final Haute Couture finishing touches, each step requires a unique expertise refined by its master craftsmen over the years.
Suits, shirts, knitwear, jeans, shoes, leather goods, luggage, ties, eyewear, and fragrances— this heritage of craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation since tailor Teofilo Zilli met Alain Schimel in 1965. The two partners revolutionized the industry by launching the first luxury leather jackets for men. Recognized with the “Living Heritage Company” label in the Haute Couture category for men, ZILLI carries forward a legacy that still flourishes today.
In December 2021, NEGMA GROUP acquired ZILLI with the vision of consolidating the brand, strengthening its position as a key player in luxury menswear, honoring its 50-year history, and building on its exceptional Lyon-based expertise.
A unique luxury story marked by passion and emotion.
