Ownership
Wikipedia's article on Piquadro lists The Bridge as a Florentine heritage label among the brands of the Piquadro group, alongside Piquadro and the French house Lancel. The Bridge's website supports this indirectly, as its newsletter consent text refers to other companies of the Piquadro Group. The sources consulted do not give an acquisition date, a founder or a founding year, so none is stated here.
Products and positioning
The website shows a wide leather goods range:
- Women's and men's bags: shoulder, crossbody, hobo, bucket, mini, messenger and briefcase styles, plus laptop bags
- Backpacks
- Small leather goods: wallets, card holders and key rings
- Accessories: belts, scarves and hats
- Luggage: trolleys, cabin bags, travel bags and beauty cases
- Diary covers, portfolios, home decor and personalised items
Collections named on the site include Story, Laura, Mia and Luce. The site also links to pages on a Tuscany way of life and on carbon neutrality, though the sources do not give details of the latter.
Business model and distribution
The brand sells through its website and, as part of the Piquadro group, benefits from the group's retail network, although the sources do not break out The Bridge's own stores or wholesale partners.
Why it matters
The Bridge gives a listed Italian leather goods group a second, Tuscan-rooted brand next to its more business and travel oriented core label.
