For small companies that focus on their own brands – like Landi Confezioni of Empoli (Florence) owner of the brands L’Impermeable (men’s and women’s trench coats), Zerosettanta Studio (men’s line) and Landi (women’s line) – the pandemic was a tsunami that imposed, first of all, a more efficient business management. “We have rethought the warehouse – explains Simone Landi, owners of the family business, 4 million in 2020 turnover for 70% of exports and 25 employees – and above all we have focused on reducing waste and industrial waste”.
What changes have you introduced in the workplace?

A company with a long family tradition like ours has always seen alternating generations that build and innovate, and generations that consolidate: obviously mine has to build and innovate. Obviously from the beginning we have sterilized, spaced, prevented, making ourselves available to the community in the production of masks and gowns, but this has not prevented the virus from appearing also in us. We faced the problem with courage and calm and we got out of it: we were lucky. The long isolation allowed me to have time to think and rethink my business vision and our working method.
So what news will remain beyond the pandemic?
Thanks to the pandemic and the increase in interpersonal distances, with the consequent reduction of unused industrial spaces, we have learned to rethink the warehouse and innovate it with more efficient management, but above all we have focused on reducing waste and waste. We have started a collaboration with our partner supplier of padding to collect and recycle all the fabric waste deriving from the cutting of the productions, which once treated with complex regeneration steps become again technical paddings that we can again use for our 100% eco-sustainable productions.
