"I would say that travel has played a very important role regarding my architectural and cultural influences. Travel is the best gift anyone could give you. It opens your mind to new possibilities, new landscapes, new views, and of course, different cultures. I find myself drawn to the idea of juxtaposing textures that are really tactile but also have a degree of comfort, and thinking outside the box about ways to create an antithesis between the classic and the modern, just like you see old and new buildings within the same city or ancient artefacts within a contemporary museum."

"When the sketches turn into live prototypes, only one word could describe my feelings and that is: Excitement! The process itself is so long that it makes me happy to see the end result and reminds me how rewarding it is:'
Why did you decide to produce your bags in Florence?
"Italy has such a history of talented artisans and craftsmen so choosing to produce them there was a no-brainer. Everything is made by hand using centuries-old techniques.

Plus, this dedication to quality is another strong way in which I believe the company is sustainable. Luxury is designed to last."
