We choose only vegetable tanned leathers and use water-based solvents and natural dyes.
Business ethics
We have always preferred local tertiary collaborators and small family businesses.
INSPIRATION
Our research is based on overcoming any convetional image, on an aesthetic made of liberating distortions that incorporates and disembodied everything that preceded it.
We remain suspended between the sanctification of white and the damnation of black, between the idealization of perfection and the necessity of imperfection, because we want to preserve the subversive nature of artistic expression and make it a contemporary aesthetic statement.
We are not interested in passing fads, in the frugality that is increasingly invading the world. We believe in something deeper. For us this is a mission, a vocation that goes beyond trends.
We love experimenting with cuts and volumes, even if what we like most is asymmetry, because it is exactly like people: we ourselves ore never just on thing, on the contrary we can be in many ways.
