FR: Our relationship with clients relies heavily on service. We are launching the STEFANO RICCI Club project, reserved for top clients, which ensures priority access to new products and exclusive experiences. To further cater to our customer’s desires, we created the FUENTE OPUSX - STEFANO RICCI cigar, which is not intended for sale. Q3. The STEFANO RICCI brand serves the 1% of all oligarchs, politicians, oil scions, celebrities, and tech billionaires to name a few. This exclusive clientele often remarks about the quality of the fabric in STEFANO RICCI’s clothing and interior design. They are quoted as having said, “There’s nothing quite like it.” Is there a way to explain technically what the clientele of STEFANO RICCI are experiencing when they say this? NR: One of our strengths is undoubtedly the search for the absolute quality of each material. The best silks, the best cotton, the softest wools, and the leather goods are testaments to how our brand asserts itself through the enhanced design of exclusive products that simultaneously express an emotion. FR: Making our wardrobe available for this 0.001% is our mission. Attention to detail is our secret. When a man enters a STEFANO RICCI boutique, he must feel at home. His purchasing experience represents an intimate, personal moment, and our team accompanies him in choosing an emotion for it. Q4. Stefano Ricci himself has created each and every pattern used by the STEFANO RICCI brand, drawn intricately in pencil and then manufactured into exquisite fabrics spun on Renaissance style looms originally created by Leonardo da Vinci, which are the basis of the STEFANO RICCI brand. Is Stefano’s extreme talent self-taught or passed down through generations in the Ricci family? And are these custom fabrics made by Stefano retired seasonally? NR: My father’s extraordinary ability has always been to design the future. His reference to Leonardo da Vinci is a reference to the acquisition of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, which has been operating continuously since 1786 with mechanical and semi-mechanical looms from July 2020 Polo De’Marco
