30 Years of Perfect Fit – A Brand on the Move

For 30 years, RAFFAELLO ROSSI has stood for modern, feminine, premium trousers with a perfect fit. Founded in 1996 by Brigitte and Ralf Schellenberger, the brand from Großwallstadt in Bavaria has developed into an internationally successful premium label – driven by quality, a sense of style and a clear focus on the needs of modern women.

RAFFAELLO ROSSI creates trousers that naturally feel great, fit perfectly and stylishly accompany modern women through their daily lives. Comfort, feminine lightness and contemporary design characterise every collection and make the brand an integral part of a modern lifestyle.

Today, the family-run business is led into the future by their sons David and Tobias Schellenberger. For them, tradition means one thing above all: passing on values whilst simultaneously creating space for new ideas. Innovation, sustainability and modernity go hand in hand at RAFFAELLO ROSSI.

With around 130 employees, predominantly European production and a presence in over 20 countries, the brand today stands for premium quality ‘Made in Europe’.

Under the anniversary slogan “30 Years of Perfect Fit – Empowering Women with Style”, RAFFAELLO ROSSI is celebrating not only an anniversary, but also the women for whom fashion is an expression of personality, strength and style.

Leading premium women’s trousers – since 1996.

SINCE 1996...

It all started when Ralf Schellenberger, the son of a clothing technician, made the decision to take over the family business. Fascinated by the textile industry, he found the right partner in Brigitte Schellenberger, whom he met during his studies as a clothing technician, to found the Raffaello Rossi brand in 1996 - a synonym for women's trousers in the premium segment with a perfect fit and first-class quality.
An incomparable success story began. With discipline, new ideas, loyal and strong companions and lots of passion, Schellenbergers managed to build a brand of the niche product that has become indispensable in the fashion world.

Ready for the future

In 2017, both set the course for the future with the opening of the new company building in Grosswallstadt and the gradual handover of operations to their sons David and Tobias Schellenberger.
Together, the Schellenberger family is now leading the company to the next stage.
