In 1921 Rodolfo Capaccioli, a master in the straw manufacture, in collaboration with his son Rino, sets up in San Donnino (Florence) a craftsmanlike shop of straw hats which at that time were in fashion.During the wartime unfortunately the production stops. Soon after the post-war period, Rino with his wife Iolanda restores the activity introducing also the production of bags made both in straw, leather and p.v.c. In a few time they transform the shop in a craftsmanlike workshop and they grow up more and more succeeding in exporting their products all over the world. With the passing of the years, Carlo, Rino’s son, joins the company. Marketing man and careful observer of the market trend, Carlo expands more and more the production and feels that there is the need to create a brand. The products, successfully requested by the costumers, from now on will be branded with the Surname of the family, that is “Capaccioli” and the company which will be set up between son and father will be named “CAPACCIOLI RINO E CARLO”.
In the ’60 Mrs. Valeria, Carlo’s wife, joins the company, she, thanks to her creative vein and innovative spirit, enriches the production of originality . In the ’90, the company moves and changes the denomination “CAPACCIOLI RINO E CARLO” in CP3. Given the great potentiality of the company, it stirs up the necessity of introducing new brands. For this reason the company makes an agreement with the Maison Lancetti for the production and distribution of their brand. Given the good results obtained, the company takes the licence for production and distribution of many other important brands, such as GALITZINE, SAX and BASILE.More and more Cp3 company grows up and in addition to all the existing brands, creates a new brand, of its own property, Roberto C, which takes the name from one of Carlo’s son, Roberto Capaccioli.
Thanks to the obstinacy and to the attention for the details, Roberto has been able to impose the brand “Roberto C”. He establishes licence- agreement with different partnership, contributing to enlarge the range of its products: wallets, glasses shoes, clothes, scarves and gloves, together with bags, are today part of Roberto C collection.Moreover, since a long time, we also produce for important Italian and foreign “private labels” and this has enabled the factory to refine its own technical competence.Today Cp3 is set up in a big plant (6.500 mq. offices and laboratory, plus 2.000 mq., warehouse and shipment department) in the most important trading area of Florence, Osmannoro, and counts 40 employees.Moreover recently 2 outlet- shops have been opened in Molfetta (BA) and in Valmontone (RM) and this new event has contributed to increase the success of the company. After 80 years of activity, it can be reasonably asserted that Cp3 is a well established leather goods company, among the most important at a national level.
