Growing up with Italian grandparents, I was surrounded by family who took enormous pride in making things well.
Whether it was harvesting olives, preparing tomato passata or sewing dresses by hand, there was a deep respect for craftsmanship and the generations of knowledge behind it.
It taught me that the most beautiful things are rarely rushed.
When I founded VESTIRSI, I wanted to honour that same philosophy.
Creating a brand so closely connected to my Nonno's hometown has been one of the greatest privileges of my working life. Every collection we create in Italy feels like a small way of honouring the place, the people and the traditions that shaped my family.
Woven leather holds a particularly special place in that story. It is the pinnacle of Italian leather craftsmanship. Every strip of leather is individually woven by hand by skilled artisans, requiring extraordinary precision, patience and time. It's one of the most intricate traditions in leathercraft, mastered by remarkably few.
It feels incredibly special to share this collection with you.
Thank you for allowing me to.
