Mondial 1908 — Art Made in Italy
Founded in Florence in 1908 by master brush-maker Attilio Bagnoli, Mondial began in a small workshop in the Galluzzo district, where the freshly boiled bristles were assembled by hand, one by one. In more than a century of history, that artisanal gesture has never been lost: even today, every Mondial shaving brush is finished by hand, following a ritual handed down through five generations.

In the 1930s the factory moved inside the city walls, the workforce grew, and the family expanded production for Europe’s finest barbers. After the Second World War, Attilio’s children and grandchildren introduced safety razors, olive-wood bowls and travel sets, carrying the Mondial name in the suitcases of Italian gentlemen. The turning point came in 2000, when the fourth generation took over the brand and launched the Mondial 1908 collection, transforming the company from subcontractor to luxury maison specialising in traditional shaving, grooming and perfumery.

Innovation and tradition remain in constant dialogue: the multi-award-winning “Sphaera” set reinterprets Florentine classicism with minimalist lines, while Hi-Brush synthetic fibres replicate badger softness while respecting animal welfare. In 2018 the brand opened the “Gentlemen’s Barber” concept store just steps from the Ponte Vecchio—a salon-lounge where clients enjoy bespoke shaves and men’s skincare rituals. Every cream, soap and aftershave is enriched with fragrances inspired by Tuscan gardens and with natural ingredients from sustainable supply chains, reflecting the brand’s commitment to responsible luxury.

Today, on its 115th anniversary, Mondial exports to more than sixty countries yet continues to produce in Florence, selecting seasoned woods, precious metals and fine resins with the same meticulousness shown in 1908. With every brushstroke, the artisan’s hand distils a century of Italian savoir-faire, turning the daily shave into an experience of pure sensory pleasure and timeless style.
