Collection: Vestirsi

Working in a high fashion environment of luxury beauty Public Relations, I was frustrated by my inability to find a well made, chic, black leather work handbag that didn't cost thousands of dollars. I needed to look the part, but I didn't want (nor could I afford) to spend $3000 to do it.

I looked high and low yet the offer seemed to be cheap plastic PU faux leather bags or grossly overpriced designer bags, retailing for thousands of dollars. 

I knew there needed to be a middle ground, for smart, modern women who wanted to look a million dollars, but didn't want to spend thousands of dollars to do it. For women that are smart enough to know it doesn't cost $3000 to make a beautiful leather bag. For women that don't want to pay for the middle men, mark-ups and marketing budget luxury designer brands funnel back to their customers through their over-inflated prices.

I knew there was a solution and luckily (thanks to my Italian grandparents) I knew where I could find it. So, with the knowledge that the best leather in the world was located in Italy I set off to my grandparents hometown to find the best leather suppliers and the most skilled leather artisans, in the hope I could create this missing "middle ground" handbag range myself.
