Italy: The Craft That Changed My Life
Although I had always loved designing and stichting, I decided to pursue a business degree, believing it would be the most practical path.
But, as is often the case with passion, it couldn't be contained. It was a trip to Rome, Italy, a city renowned for its rich leather-making tradition, that reignited my love for craftsmanship.
The city’s artistic spirit, its streets lined with history and romance, overwhelmed me.
Rome was where I fell in love all over again—not just with the city but with the art of jewelry handcrafting bags.
The moment I touched my first handcrafted leather bag in a boutique, I knew I was destined to create bags that would make people feel special.
Determined to delve deeper, I traveled across Europe, studying under master craftsmen who taught me the age-old techniques that now define my creations.
