An Icon of Style & Culture
From post-war Milan to swinging London, the late 1970s Mod revival and beyond: the Lambretta has been an icon of popular culture for over 75 years - with scooters at the hands of Paul Newman and James Dean, and clothing worn by Carl Barât and Paul Weller. The Lambretta name and famous script logo represent a history of style, tradition and unbreakable culture.
A Rich History rooted in Italian Ingenuity and Design
Founded by Ferdinando Innocenti in Milan in 1947 and inspired by the popularity of motor scooters in post-war Italy, Lambretta introduced its first scooter, the Model A, in 1947. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Lambretta scooters gained popularity internationally, becoming a symbol of youth culture and style. In London's swinging sixties, Mods adopted the Lambretta: the clean lines, sleek design, and reliability of of the scooters perfectly complemented an ethos of modernity and originality.
