Coccinelle was founded in 1978 in Sala Baganza, near Parma, by Giacomo Mazzieri, who named the house for the ladybird (coccinella in Italian). The company built its identity around leather bags and accessories designed and prototyped largely by in-house, all-female teams. It opened its first single-brand boutique on Via Statuto in Milan in 1995, and by 2001 had grown to 27 single-brand stores - including locations in Paris, London and Berlin - plus around 1,300 wholesale points of sale, with foreign markets accounting for roughly 30% of turnover.
