Available to hire
Hi, I’m Mirko Buccianti, a luxury and fashion manager with 10+ years of experience across leather goods, accessories, shoes, and ready-to-wear. I excel at aligning design, product development, supply chain, marketing, and retail teams to deliver profitable collections with smart SKU management.
I’ve led merchandising for international brands—Thom Browne, Bally, Furla, Brunello Cucinelli, and Gucci—steering collection briefs, pricing, sell-in/sell-out analysis, and go-to-market strategies across Retail and Wholesale. I enjoy sharing knowledge through trainings and collaborating with regional leadership to drive growth, and I’m open to consulting projects.
