OBI

Officina Bigiotteria Italiana (OBI) is a Florence-based Italian manufacturer of exclusive fashion accessories, founded by Giancarlo Boncompagni in 1958. From its beginnings as a small family business, the company has grown into a specialist serving luxury fashion houses and international clients. Its products are made at its Florence facility, within Italy’s fashion district, and include accessories for clothing and leather goods, costume jewellery, and buckles.

OBI works with precious metals and other materials, including bronze, gold, and silver, combining design expertise with advanced production technology and skilled craftsmanship. The company develops clients’ ideas into finished pieces, providing design and modelling as well as production. Its approach pairs modern, flexible processes with attention to detail and the value of handwork, while stating a commitment to conserving resources. OBI’s history also includes the adoption of die-cast zamak, which expanded its production possibilities. With processes brought in-house, it aims to meet varied customer requirements for quality, materials, and production.
