A bit more about il Gufo…
Il Gufo means owl. The name comes from the very first embroidery on rompers. As time goes by the owl became our lucky charm and we now embroider it even on products for older boys.
Stefano Azario, one of the most important photographer in the kids fashion world, has been representing the best choice for Il Gufo to convey the elegance and the modernity of the brand.
