The Foundation is dedicated to social responsibility projects, runs educational programs, supports the new generation of creatives, and highlights the importance of circular fashion and sustainability.

Founded in 1984, Baleri Italia embraces a design philosophy aimed at creating distinctive and functional design, maintaining a constant commitment to expressive research combined with careful technical product development.
