At Gillio Firenze, we were thrilled to welcome Chenbo, representing her studio, Jieyou (解忧). Since 2016, Chenbo has been an integral part of our journey, sourcing Gillio planners to the Chinese market with unwavering dedication.

It was a pleasure to host Chenbo and introduce her to the entire Gillio family, further strengthening our bond and commitment to excellence in serving our global clientele. Chenbo's insights into the Chinese ... Read more

Dear Gillionaires, A little announcement for the new year. As of 2023, Gillio will not be selling paper inserts anymore. Over the last years, our sale of inserts has decreased tremendously. And we completely understand - there are so many beautiful inserts available elsewhere, and so many talented designers producing and selling inserts online, on Etsy or in webshops - many of those incredible designers are also Gillionaires! As we have to purchase enormous minimum order quantities from our insert supplier, we noticed that each year we have to throw more than ... Read more

On the 1st of January 2022, prices of Gillio leather goods will increase with 4%. We will adjust our prices in accordance with the increase in both labour costs and leather costs. As during the previous years, prices of our materials, labour and transport have again risen this year, and we adapt accordingly. Prices of our top-quality epoca leathers have increased with about 9% in the last year, mostly due to the decreased supply of good leathers, as there is a general decrease in meat consumption. As you know, our leathers are ... Read more

As many of you know, we have had to take the Slim Compagna offline for a while now, because our supplier had delivered us the wrong rings. Over the last months, we have waited for new stock, but unfortunately our supplier has still not been able to deliver the correct rings to us. Luckily, we found a German company that had slim rings with the correct backplate in stock, and was able to deliver them to us this week. Our Slim Compagnas will therefor be back online as of today, Friday March 13th ... Read more

Happy Monday, Gillionaires! This week, Belgium has a school holiday week, so we're not doing a restock as some of our staff have (well-deserved!) time off! Instead, we hosted a live Q&A session on our Facebook-page. Customers from all over the world could ask us all their burning questions about our company, leathers, planners and more! We gathered some great ideas and input from our viewers, that we will take into a new colours & models brainstorm session in the future as well! Want to watch the replay of the live session? Here you ... Read more

With the ungoing health crisis in China due to the Corona virus, all items shipped to and from China are experiencing long delays. Because there are significantly less airplanes flying back and forth, it takes a lot longer for mail cargo to depart.  We suggest opting for BUZZ expedited shipping (that does not use bPost but DHL for shipping) as the delays are smaller there. These delays also impact the times that bpost calculates before an item is deemed 'lost'. If your parcel is departing from Belgium to China, or an ... Read more

On the 6th of January 2020, prices of Gillio leather goods will increase with 3%. We will adjust our prices in accordance with the increase in both labour costs and leather costs. As during the previous years, prices of our materials, labour and transport have again risen this year, and we adapt accordingly. Prices of our top-quality epoca leathers have increased with about 7% in the last year, mostly due to the decreased supply of good leathers, as there is a general decrease in meat consumption. As you know, our leathers are ... Read more

If you ... Read more

Over the last couple of years, our Chinese customers have been flooding us with questions (mostly in Chinese!) about our products and promotions, as Facebook and Instagram, and sometimes our website, is not available in a language they understand. To make sure that we can serve our customers from all over the world, regardless of where they live, we are starting a new experiment this month: the possibility of purchasing Gillio products through WeChat, a Chinese multi-purpose messaging, social media and mobile payment app - completely in simplified Chinese. With ... Read more

====== IMPORTANT ====== Dear Gillionaires! In Gillio's quest to continously improve our services to you, we don't only aim for innovation in our products, but also in our services and infrastructure. After a long preparation, this weekend Gillio is making a very important and major change: we are switching software systems, to be sure we can handle our growth smoothly for the next coming years. Our accounting and order processing software has been with us since forever, and having faithfully served us it is time to say our goodbyes and step into the ... Read more

Gillionaires, we normally only post good news, new models, restocks and promotions here, but today, we have something not so nice to tell you. We doubted whether to make this public, but as it impacts you too, we thought it best to be an open book and share everything with you all: the good, the bad and the ugly. Yesterday, Monday December 10th, Tom discovered a very shocking ‘Christmas surprise’ when he went to the Gillio Boutique in Brussels. As some of you might know, the Galleries Louise where the shop is ... Read more

Rewatch here the Q&A with Mella & Mella and Ben from November 15th 2018 Read more

We just learned that bPost, our national mail handler, has union strikes planned from November 7th until (at least) November 12th. This has an impact on the shipping times of our parcels - it could affect the local mail handling and/or sorting, but also international shipping, as well as the processing of our BUZZ orders. This is, as you can imagine, beyond our control. Please take into account, when ordering in the next week(s), that your parcel might arrive later than usual. We're keeping a close eye on this and will ... Read more

Prices of our top-quality epoca leathers have increased with about 6% in the last year, mostly due to the decreased supply of good leathers, as there is a general decrease in meat consumption. As you know, our leathers are a byproduct of the meat industry (we do not source leather from cows produced solely for the leather!). As the meat ... Read more

Over the last couple of years, our Aubergine Croco leather has appeared in many different shades. Because of our natural, vegetable tanning process, each batch is different (with all of our leathers) and no two batches are ever completely the same. Because of the many questions we received about the Aubergine croco (we have people preferring this darker batch, and some preferring the lighter older batch) we are going to have the two colours co-exist. This batch, the darker shade, will change name to Croco Matte ROSEWOOD (new colourcode 453). Good news ... Read more
