About DeGiuli
Founded by Giulia Pessano Zulberti, DeGiuli is a brand that aims to create artful designs, grounded in everyday life without compromising her values in sustainability.
As a child surrounded by creative parents and grandparents, studying Fashion Design at FIT was a natural choice. After gaining work experience in Paris, at a luxury ready-to-wear brand, Giulia decided to move back to her hometown in the Bay Area. There, she felt the need to express her personal creativity and DeGiuli was started. DeGiuli standing for: “De” meaning “Of” in Spanish, and “Giuli” a nick name used by family, a combination reflecting her Argentinian-Italian roots.
Sustainabilty
Every garment is handmade by Giulia in Berkeley, CA. Each design is approached with the goal of diverting the accumulation of waste and reimagining what already exists. After seeing the amount of excess material created and the effect it has on the planet, this became the drive behind creating a circular brand. To achieve this, only hand selected, unwanted and unused premium materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill are utilized. DeGiuli garments are also fully fashioned, meaning the knit panels are created to the shape and size needed allowing for little or no cutting in the manufacturing process. In addition, DeGiuli pieces are created in small batches or made-to-order, ensuring that there is no excess of inventory. Lastly, each garment is made with acute attention to detail & quality so that it can be worn and loved for many years to come.
