Our Story
Fuctifano Apparel began with a simple idea: Clothing that speaks your truth and stands the test of time.
Clothes that truly express me.

Our first recollection of the name, being used in the way it is being used today, was in 1968, when we were young kids, still at school and people were using various names, to describe to each other, where they would like to go, for their ideal holiday.
Various names cropped up, but Fuctifano is still the most memorable of those names, even though a couple of the others are still used, less frequently, to this day.
Years later, I spotted a fridge magnet, stuck on the fridge of an edlerly pensioner, who I was carrying out a regular, scheduled Gas Safety Check for and I smiled.
She smiled back at me and told me that when her great grandchildren asked her what it said, she told them that Fuctifano was a famous Italian footballer. She wasn't convinced that they believed her though.
I realised that if an eldery great grandmother was amused by the use of the word and was even willing to display it openly in her own home to her great grandkids, that more people would also be amused by it's use.
