KONTATTO

We were born in 1995 from the visionary mind and heart of Federico Ballandi, still at the helm of the company alongside partners Gianluca Goldoni and Stefano Trecchi. The need to express the idea of knitwear delicately resting on the skin, with touch and contact, inspired the name. However, today Kontatto is not only knitwear, but a company specialized in the production and distribution of 100% made in Italy women's clothing. Our headquarters has always been in the Centergross of Bologna, a strategic hub for trade and the fashion economy. Guiding us are passion, energy, intuition, the ability to adapt to trends and foresee them. Now as then. Our product development policies are based on three pillars: creativity, quality, variety. To the imagination of the style office, which relies on talented designers and scouting sessions among London, Tokyo, New York, and Seoul to capture and reinterpret international trends, we add the finesse of Italian materials and attention to detail. We offer our customers a very wide choice of garments throughout the year: in addition to the two traditional collections (debuting for spring/summer and autumn/winter), flash capsules and new-in items enrich the catalog weekly. Objective? A total look in line with the current style and accessible to the public, which includes not only clothing but also bags, shoes, and accessories. We are present throughout the national territory and abroad, thanks to an extensive distribution network. In Italy, we rely on single-brand agents and warehouses in the squares of Bologna, Milan, Naples, Rome, Bari, and Ancona, which carry out constant sales every day. Abroad, our garments are distributed in Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, Russia, and Hong Kong. We have 4 single-brand stores, each boasting a strategic location: Bologna, Milan, Milano Marittima, Casalecchio di Reno, and Padua. Finally, alongside offline sales, we have added a B2B and B2C e-commerce service to offer a 360° purchasing system. The kontatto.com website is a reference point for Made in Italy women's clothing both for those who want to discover the new collection and for those who want to get in touch with us, thanks to a section reserved for B2B and B2C customers. Our communication strategy has changed over time, in line with the development of new technologies and the rise of social networks. Alongside the institutional advertising campaign, seasonally planned in major international fashion magazines, the brand is told through newsletters and messaging services tailored to the clientele and distribution network as well as on Instagram, the main fashion dialogue channel.
