Furla — the home where objects keep their souls

From a Bologna workshop to the magic of modernity

It all began in 1927, in the historic city of Bologna in sunny Italy, when master Aldo Furlanetto opened a small leather workshop. It is said that his leather did not smell merely of tanning, but of art and dreams. He could listen to the material — feel it beneath his fingers and sense what would be born from it: a wallet, a belt, or perhaps a bag destined to become someone’s talisman.

In 1955, on Via Ugo Bassi, the first boutique opened — the family’s first step into a world where accessories ceased to be mere objects and became symbols of destiny.

The Furlanetto family — Giovanna, Carlo, and Paolo — inherited not just a business, but an art: the ability to listen to feminine energy. From their hands came creations where logic and poetry, order and emotion blended in perfect harmony.

Since then, every Furla collection has carried within it not only the tradition and craftsmanship of Made in Italy, but also a fragment of human history — what in people is called charisma and in art is called soul.

The faces of Furla — magic embodied in people

Every generation of the Furla family chooses its own “messengers” — people who not only represent the brand but reflect the archetypes of time itself: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit.

Irina Shayk — Earth. Energy shaped into form. Bag Unica

Irina embodies the element of Earth — grounded, feminine, magnetic. Born in a small Ural town, she carries the roots of northern strength within her. The loss of her father and a modest childhood gave her the inner resilience that would later become the foundation of her beauty.

In the Furla Unica Earth Limited Edition campaign, she seems to hold not just an accessory but a sphere of life itself. Biodegradable and sustainable leather, soft lines, and natural hues — everything resonates with her essence: Irina doesn’t wear things; she connects them with nature. Her charisma is not glossy but warm, like the grounding weight of the Earth that remembers everything.

Natalia Vodianova — Water. The kindness that purifies the world. Bag Piper Lux

Natalia’s childhood is a modern-day Cinderella story. A girl from the markets of Nizhny Novgorod who helped her mother entered the world of fashion as if stepping into a fairy tale, where fate itself played the fairy godmother. She carries the softness of water — calm yet unstoppable.

In 2013, during Moscow’s Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, Furla unveiled the limited-edition Piper Lux bag made of python, and Natalia became its face. All proceeds were donated to her charity foundation, Naked Heart. This act gave the story a mystical touch — as if destiny itself had chosen Vodianova to show that luxury can serve goodness. The bag in her hands became a vessel of light — a reminder that style without soul is empty.

Karry Wang (Wang Junkai) — Air. Youth bringing change. Bag Furla 1927 Lunar Edition

A young Chinese singer and actor who became the face of Furla in 2024, he seems to have stepped out of an Eastern legend. He represents the breath of a new era — light, swift, and resonant.

In the 1927 Lunar Edition campaign, he holds a bag adorned with golden orchids — symbols of nobility and inner awakening. His energy is like the wind: unseen yet perceptible. Through him, Furla speaks to Generation Z — fashion can be sincere when it is filled with the breath of life. His gaze is like dawn — a promise that style can speak in the language of emotion, not status.

Anfisa Letyago — Fire. The rhythm that makes Italy’s heart beat. Bag Metropolis Remix

Anfisa is an Italian DJ and producer, a daughter of Naples and its vibrant nights. In the Italy by Furla campaign, she presented the Metropolis Remix — a renewed version of the iconic bag with a golden clasp.

In her photos, the city lights look like guitar strings, and she herself a spark dancing across Rome’s rooftops. She doesn’t simply showcase an object — she breathes rhythm into it. Furla chose her as a symbol of contemporary Italy: alive, resonant, eternal. Her magic lies in movement, in the ability to turn sound into style.

Noonoouri — Ether. The soul of the digital future. Bag Metropolis Digital Dream

Noonoouri is a virtual personality, created by artificial intelligence yet animated by a human essence. Like a “fifth element,” she does not exist physically — and that is precisely her strength. When Furla introduced the Metropolis Digital Dream, her image became a bridge between fashion and a new reality.

Her eyes are like liquid screens reflecting inner worlds. There is no physicality in her movements — only the vibration of pure thought. Through her, Furla seems to whisper: beauty no longer needs a body; it lives in image, in thought, in data. Noonoouri is a muse of the future, guardian of a brand that dares to look beyond the horizon.

The magic of Furla: objects that choose their keepers

Within every Furla creation lives a fragment of the soul of those who made it and those who wear it. This is the secret of the brand: it doesn’t sell bags — it passes on stories, energy, and legacy. In some women’s hands, Furla becomes an amulet; in others, a trophy. Yet it always remains a symbol of inner style that cannot be imitated.
