-- The Italian curators of the luxury e-com platform Armadio.com find many talented Designers and many exceptional Artisans during their periodical scouting travels in Italy. But Matteo Mattia Gemignani (CEO) and Loris Pignoletti (Artistic Director) only consider their job done when they match them to perfection, before bringing them on Armadio.com and sharing them with the world. Like they did for the Dassel bag, when they brought into a seasoned Artisan’s workshop one promising young Designer, and left them to work.
The poised silhouette and ladylike demeanor come from award-winning Designer Nicolò, who made a career designing for brands such as Prada and Furla.
The beautifully crafted top grain Tuscan leather, in the rich tones of Burgundy and Brown, or in classic Black, is the handiwork of 40 years experienced Artisan Patrizia Sassetti, from her garage-studio in Lastra A Signa (Florence). “Dassel” is one of the cities of Lower Saxony that were part of Patrizia’s path to becoming the Creative she is today, like “Schoneberg”, the influential neighborhood of Berlin which she named her own brand after.
ABOUT ARMADIO
Armadio.com is a curated platform that makes possible for US consumers to have a local experience of artisanal luxury shopping in Italy, without taking a plane to Tuscany.
The Founders are Italians, and they know Italy’s best kept secret: they can bring you to shop inside the labs of the artisans in Italy, cutting the luxury industry markups by creating an export channel that never existed, directly from Italian artisans to consumers in the US.
In the era of mass production, they are going the opposite direction: users of Armadio.com enjoy all the perks of actually walking in one of the many local shops of Florence, getting to know the shop owners, the products and the Artisan who crafted them, and the best bars on the street. The doors of Armadio are open just like any other little shop in town.
