The Secret Behind the Brand's Miraculous Growth Revealed for the First Time



What is the management strategy of Orobianco, the Italian bag brand that continues to achieve sales growth exceeding 20% annually? This book offers the first-ever public disclosure of the secrets behind the brand's seemingly miraculous growth, including the unique background of Giacomo Valentini, who is both a craftsman and an accomplished executive, his commitment to product quality, his energetic drive, and his distinctive marketing approach, "JUDO Marketing."

From the invisible dedication to product quality as seen through the eyes of the author, Koichi Takagi, a leading figure in the brand bag business, to Orobianco's innovations that extend beyond the world of bags into areas such as food, interiors, and new material development, this book explores the sources of their creativity.

This is a must-read for Orobianco fans and anyone involved in the fashion business. Its growth trajectory should also offer valuable insights for Japan's small and medium-sized manufacturing industries struggling with stagnation.
