A New Italian History
Ermanno Scervino Maison founded in 2000 in Florence - from the union of Mr Ermanno’s creativity and Mr Toni Scervino’s entrepreneurship - has become a synonym of Made in Italy quality and International style. Since the beginning of the brand, passion – support of creative research – has been the driving force of the company’s strategy. Constant interaction between know how and experimentation in a product that brings together craftsmanship, excellence and innovation. In 2007 the headquarter was opened in the hilly environs of Florence. The atelier, research and prototype laboratories, knitwear and finished garments departments are grouped together in the new premises so that they are constantly in sync with the brands style concepts. This is to the benefit of Ermanno Scervino’s working strategy, which is to be directly engaged in the development of his research, remaining in contact with all of the phases of workmanship.The new headquarters also houses the offices in charge of administration, manufacturing, distribution and logistics for the whole group. This provides dynamism in the manufacturing aspect, a process of industrialization that makes it possible to obtain a non-standardized, high-quality product.

It is an open space showroom, in which Ermanno Scervino women’s collections are displayed, with a wide space dedicated also to accessories and corners for the junior, underwear and beachwear lines.
