Gianni Conti

What Gianni Conti does

Gianni Conti is an Italian leather goods brand founded in 1985 and operated by Elda Trade srl, an Italian private limited company headquartered in Mogliano (MC), Italy. The company designs, produces, and sells genuine leather handbags, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, backpacks, business and travel bags, sling backpacks, shopping bags, and small leather goods (wallets, card holders, coin purses, keychains, document holders) for both men and women. The product portfolio comprises 158+ SKUs organized into four thematic sub-collections (Iconic, Vintage, Modern, Casual) and is sold at retail price points ranging from approximately €55 for small leather goods to €408 for premium handbags, with seasonal discounts of up to 35%.

The business runs an omnichannel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce through the owned gianniconti.com storefront with international shipping to 19+ countries across Europe (UK, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Nordics, Eastern Europe) and North America (US, Canada) via DHL; a network of authorized Italian retail partners across San Severino Marche, Pesaro, Cattolica, Rimini, Cesenatico, San Marino, and Santarcangelo di Romagna; and a reserved B2B wholesale platform at b2b.eldatrade.com. Revenue mechanics are one-time direct product sales; there is no subscription, marketplace listing, or platform fee. Customer segments are horizontal — both female and male consumers seeking timeless Italian leather craftsmanship rather than trend-driven fashion — with average order values in the €93-€408 range and free standard shipping within Italy and Europe.

The technology stack is conventional e-commerce infrastructure with no proprietary technology disclosed: WordPress-based storefront, Stripe and PayPal payment processing, Tawk.to live chat, WhatsApp customer support, MailUp for email marketing, Meta Pixel and Google Ads for paid acquisition, and Google Analytics 4 plus Microsoft Clarity for behavioral analytics. The company employs 11-50 people, holds no disclosed funding, has no public listing, and operates as a privately held SME with 40 years of brand heritage and a registered Gianni Conti® trademark.
