We launched Bernardo nearly 42 years ago with a mission to give busy people on the go the freedom and style to lead their lives.
We design outerwear - coats, jackets, puffers, walkers, vests - for the wondrous journey of modern women and men. Inspired by their drive, creativity and generosity, we bring them beautiful quality pieces that give them the power to do it all, stylishly and confidently on their terms.
Our journey to become a fully sustainable brand is one we're committed to, beginning with our puffer collections made with our Ecoplume™ fill, made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
This sustainable journey is just part of the story as we continue to look for ways to be a more meaningful brand to our consumers, retail partners, and private label collaborators.
