The Time I when to Venezuela to make the Rhythm bags collection

This is my first collection of leather bags I made in Venezuela, my home country. 

It was a real challenge due to the political and economic situation there but thanks to all the people who helped me to get some materials in Colombia, and I am talking about going to the frontier in Cucuta by bus, something absolutely dangerous! thanks also to the people who helped me to find a really good leather artisan which was perfect by the way, and thanks to all the people who told me to never give up in this dream.

At the end everything started to move forwards and we finally made it! I bought the leather, I found the artisan, the hardware and started to work in them. even if I was in Italy I was very into the process of the productin. 

You can see how beautiful and good made they turned out to be. 

The RHYTHM Bags collection is inspired by the musical instruments of Venezuela, Arpa, Tamborera and Bandolina. I specially wanted to create the rythm of Venezuelan music, mixing them with the feeling of contemporary music festivals and shows there to finally get that sensation of cultural dinamism  

I am so proud of the results and how many of these bags I have sold around the globe. I am sure they’re dancing around the world!

The time I made the pagoda bags

My very first leather bag collection! I put all my effort and so much money in the creation of these bags… I used a bright weird and powerful combination of colors because I wanted them to excel from the regular stuff. The design took me weeks because when you have few money to invest you want your product to be perfect. Picking the right leather artisan was a bit difficult, all the moments of the production and post-production were really tuff but I don’t regret it! At the end they turned out to be perfect! I learned a lot with all this and they somehow have been everywhere shooting my name out loud.

La mia prima Collezione di borse in pelle! Ci ho messo tutto il mio sforzo e tanti soldi nella creazione di queste borse... Ho usato una abbinamento di colori ben strano, viavace e potente perche volevo andare un po' oltre la normalità. Per il disegno ci ho messo settimane a finirlo perche di solito quando hai pochi soldi da investire vuoi che il tuo prodotto sia perfetto. Scegliere il miglior artigiano non è stato facile, tutti i momenti di produzione e post-produzione sono stati duri, ma non mi lamento! Alla fine sono venute perfette! Ho imparato tantissimo e in qualche modo le mie borse sono state ovunque a spargere il mio nome.

Mi primera colección de carteras de piel! Puse todo mi esfuerzo y tanto dinero en la creación de estas bolsas… Utilice una combinación de colores un poco extraña, llamativa y potente porque quería salir fuera de lo común. El diseño me tomo semanas hacerlo porque cuando tienes tan poco dinero para invertir quieres que tu producto quede perfecto. Escoger el artesano justo fue algo muy difícil, toda la producción y post-producción fue muy dura, pero no me lamento! Al final todo quedó perfecto! He aprendido muchísimo y de alguna u otra manera las bolsas han estado en todos lados gritando fuerte mi nombre.
