Graduated in Industrial Design at the Politecnico institute in Milan, he moved to Switzerland and begun to work for international brands like Napapijri, Armani, Moleskine and Hugo Boss designing bags and leather goods acquiring a deep experience in the accessories market.

When sown together, through resistant tailored stitches, a unique product is created, which will last in time.
