Svad Dondi

What Svad Dondi does

SVAD DONDI S.p.A. is a privately held Italian home textile manufacturer founded around 1965 by Anna and Alfredo Dondi in Viadana, Mantua, where its headquarters remain. Operating under the Dondi Home brand, the company produces and retails premium bed, bath, table, and beach linens — including bedspreads, duvet cover sets, sheet sets, quilts, bath towels, bathrobes, tablecloths, runners, napkins, placemats, and decorative cushions — using cotton sateen (200–300 TC), cotton percale, cotton gabardine, jacquard, and polypropylene fabrics, with select table linens featuring Bionic-Finish water-repellent treatment. Manufacturing is conducted in Italy, combining serial production with artisanal craftsmanship.

The company's commercial model is predominantly direct-to-consumer e-commerce through its proprietary platform dondi.it, supported by a dedicated B2B portal (b2b.dondi.it) for wholesale and professional buyers. Products are priced as individual units in euros (€27–€441 range), with payments accepted via Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Scalapay BNPL, and a domestic banking partner (Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna). The brand ships globally to 100+ countries via DHL internationally and BRT within Italy. A core multi-decade collaboration with fashion house Blumarine has generated three sub-brands (Blumarine Home Collection, Blumarine Baby, Blumarine Art-de-la-Table) regularly launched at international trade fairs, and a newer collaboration with design brand Seletti has produced the "Seletti X Dondi" collection. Supporting sub-brands include Forever by Dondi (table and bath) and Buongiorno Principessa (silk pillowcases marketed as a beauty ritual). The company adopted a formal Code of Ethics and Conduct on 28 October 2024 and operates with GDPR- and CCPA-aligned data and cookie policies.
