Retail Buying Expert

The focus on the quality of work, careful accuracy of the products and the deep-seated value of communicating with our customers represent the key principles of the Brunello Cucinelli philosophy.
We believe that working for the company involves participating in this particular philosophy that we cultivate each day, which is revealed first of all in simple and discreet, polite and direct communication, concerned with the quality of the products like the traditions, craftsmen and techniques that create them. Each boutique symbolises a window that, from Solomeo, opens onto the world and simultaneously embraces a glance towards the reality that we attend to daily, a healthy lifestyle led according to the rhythm of nature.
