Handmade, in Italy
From a spark of imagination, a skilled model-maker in one of our Italian workshops breathes life into the idea, crafting a paper prototype or working with test leather to shape its silhouette. This initial phase is known as creating the "salpa", and it offers the first tactile glimpse of what will become the final crafted product.
In close collaboration, designer and artisan refine each nuance, marrying timeless elegance with contemporary practicality. Subtle reinforcements ensure the bag maintains its graceful form, balancing beauty and durability.
As a next step, master artisans meticulously cut and assemble the leather. Every stitch, every hand-dyed edge, every carefully crafted handle reflects their unwavering dedication. From intricate hand-stamped crocodile textures to delicate embroidery, each detail is a tribute to the artistry that defines Italian craftsmanship.
Leather Selection: The Foundation of Excellence
Every extraordinary bag begins with an intimate dialogue between artisan and material, where the essence of excellence is shaped. The careful selection of leather is one of the most important first steps to the creation of the bag. Leathers have various characteristics and details, all of which must be defined in order to ensure the finished product will take the desired shape and form of the design. Each hide is evaluated for its thickness, suppleness, luminous sheen, and weight, ensuring it harmonizes flawlessly with the envisioned design. Our leather is sourced from esteemed suppliers in the northern province of Vicenza, Italy; a region synonymous with Italy’s long-standing tradition of luxury leatherwork. These LWG-certified tanneries honor both sustainability and artistry, imbuing each creation with a conscience as refined as its form.
Metal Hardware: A Glimmer of Luxury
Even the smallest details whisper of grandeur.
Our hardware receives a radiant 18-karat gold finish, carefully applied over each piece, then layered with a protective coating that safeguards each piece, ensuring it resists the passage of time, tarnish, and wear.
Made in Italy, these accents embody a delicate balance of strength, lightness, and elegance, gracing every bag with a touch of opulence.
