Roberto Pansa for San Giorgio

Italian fashion accessories designer Roberto Pansa owns and designs for San Giorgio. Roberto’s belts and bags range from classic to vintage. He combines luxurious and unusual fabrics with a great attention to detail and impeccable finishing. His designs function well with casual or formal attire.

Just a few months after Roberto joins his father-in-law’s belt company he decides to open his own atelier: San Giorgio. Intense research and fervid creativity lead to designs that augment the latest fashion trends. This in turn leads to collaboration with some of the most important fashion brands in the world.  In a quarter century, San Giorgio creates more than 14,000 different belts – often with matching bags and accessories.

Roberto firmly believes that to master the trade, one must work hands-on with the product, perfect one’s craftsmanship, and gain an intimate understanding of materials. As he says “This work gets into your DNA. You live it every day. It is intuition, creativity, research. To succeed you must have passion.  For me it was like being struck by lightning!”
