Our customers

Filanti’s customers are mainly companies from the most important sectors: automotive, transport, engineering, consulting, pharmaceutical, food and beverage. They are also government organizations, embassies, public administration, universities, non-profit organizations and sports clubs. Here are the most important companies that wear fashion accessories by Filanti.

Our history

The history of Filanti began in 1996 in Villa Guardia Como, under the name of Topkapi. Renate Hoess left her position as fashion accessories sales manager at Armani and started her entrepreneurial career by founding a laboratory closely linked to the local textile district. A few months later, Topkapi started working with Nestlé, and created customised products for large corporations.

The clothing quality, the creative talent, and a customer service without compromises are the guidelines that have led Topkapi to become a point of reference for international brands. Vacheron Constantin, Audi, BMW, Deutsche Bank, PWC, AXA, Generali, UEFA Champion League, FIFA, Bayern München, are just some of the companies that have chosen us to produce fashion accessories that convey the brand’s values and image during exhibitions and events.

In the last few years we have worked with customers from many important sectors: automotive, transport, engineering, consulting, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, government organizations, embassies, public administration, universities, non-profit organizations such as the World Food Program and sports clubs as The Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and the Olympic games. Moreover, we are present at all the most important trade fairs to show our products and meet our customers in person.

The success gained by Topkapi encouraged Renate Hoess to bring the project to the next level, involving new partners and enhancing the brand through their managerial know-how. The new and ambitious growth strategies are based on an increase in services for customers, including those of Uniforms and Private Labels, a new location as well as a new image capable of communicating the high quality of products. That’s how Topkapi became Filanti whose story is still to be written.
