History
The brand originated from the Conceria Guidi Rosellini tannery, established in 1896 in Pescia, Tuscany. Ruggero Guidi later transitioned the heritage tannery into a contemporary footwear label. Guidi is significant for pioneering object-dyeing processes, where finished shoes are dyed in large vats to achieve unique patinas. This approach influenced the development of the artisanal fashion movement, establishing a bridge between traditional Italian leatherwork and modern experimental design.
