As a family business, we have embodied authenticity, responsibility, and closeness since 1984. Shaped by Dolce Vita, flat hierarchies, an informal culture, dynamism, and a familial togetherness, we combine tradition with Italian passion and a modern spirit of the times. Our mission is to inspire customers worldwide with casual Italian design. We offer high-quality materials, perfect fits, and fashion expertise with a premium standard at a democratic price – as a contemporary and bridge brand between upper mainstream and premium: Moda al dente. We believe that our world needs more joy of life, authenticity, a sense of responsibility, passion, and enthusiasm. That is exactly what we stand for – today and in the future.

CINQUE was founded in 1984 by two friends in Cinque Terre, Italy. Driven by their passion for the Italian lifestyle, they pursued a clear vision from the very beginning: to bring effortlessly casual Italian fashion with a love for design to the world. With this idea, CINQUE captured the spirit of the 1980s. In the founding year, the first menswear collection was created in Germany, laying the foundation for building the brand. In 1991, the first womenswear collection was launched, marking another milestone in the company’s development. From the original idea, an internationally operating fashion label has emerged, whose identity to this day is shaped by Italian passion, authenticity, and an open, life-affirming attitude.

CINQUE is a vibrant, progressive premium and contemporary brand for women and men that embodies the Italian lifestyle: passionate and emotional on the inside, smart, casual, and in tune with the times on the outside. With its modern business and leisure look, CINQUE sees itself as an ambassador of Italian lightness, passion, and fashion expertise.

We are a famiglia italiana – a passionate, tradition-conscious team that acts in a modern, dynamic, and reliable way, combining Italian joie de vivre with performance. Driven by a passione profonda, we live our deep passion for products, the Italian lifestyle, and the highest quality, which can be felt in every collection. Inspired by La Dolce Vita, we combine innovative design, craftsmanship, and attention to detail as an expression of personality and style. With Moda al dente, we create modern total looks that combine strong product expertise with commercial success. Our heartfelt ambition is to make Italian fashion tangible worldwide and to grow sustainably as a strong brand together with our partners.

At CINQUE, our team is as diverse as our fashion. Different people, generations, and perspectives come together, enrich each other, and strengthen our joint work. What unites us all: we love what we do! As a family business, our culture has been shaped since 1984 by authenticity, respect, openness, trust, and responsibility. These values are lived every day and define our interaction.
