Sorry to dig up an old thread but wanted to make an update since it still pulls up in a search about
the differences between Mario & Garavani.
To make it all even worse, whoever took over Mario's company is manufacturing bags out of China now, made of polyurethane! Their new backpack is not even genuine leather! Yet they left up the older FAQ page stating still made in Italy! There's no doubt they are bad actors that took over his company using Mario's name to fool people, and I wouldn't doubt if counterfeiting is their day job!
Mario is probably rolling in his grave right now.
Mario & Garavani made an agreement and coexisted just fine for 40 years!
I'm sure it is the new owners messing everything up right now.
There continues to be a big fight over the Valentino name.
This article is from 2021 and it says the case is still ongoing.
