Our Values

Humanity
The concept of Humanity finds its origin in the need for a return to a simple and genuine beauty, which starts from an anthropological view that puts at center the person, its emotions and its memories.

Craftmanship
The Craftmanship of the Brand is represented by the correlation between passion and tradition: a continuous dialogue among the past and present generations, a connection which is fundamental in the creation of a high-quality product.

Sustainability
Being sustainable, for us, means supporting the Romagna ecosystem, creating wealth and opportunities for the businesses, the artisans and people of our land. We are convinced that Romagna, which has given us so much inspiration and style, must benefit from our results and be fully involved in the process of value creation. To do this, we have chosen to keep our headquarters in Romagna, where we produce our garments with local materials. This guarantees us a high level of quality while supporting also the local artisans, guaranteeing them a better standard of well-being.

Romagnola Print

The Romagnola Print, at the essence of our brand, is not a simple print: it means passion, family, devotion and trust.

This form of handmade art has rural and humble origins: colors obtained from rust, wood molds, canvases obtained from locally cultivated hemp are the characteristics that make the Romagnola Print so unique and special.

Typically, this print was applied on the tableclothes that were used by mothers for the classical Sunday's Lunches in Romagna. We have elevated and reinterpreted those designs to honor the values that it has attached.

A rigorous technique

Canvases are first stretched and pressed to make them compact and ready to be printed. Then, they are printed using an handcrafted mold which, drenched of natural colors, is carefully applied on the canvas. The mold is kept still while the artisan hits it with a small sledge-hammer to perfectly fix the color. 

The Mangano, a machine built in 1633 and still operating, is used to stretch and press the canvases before the printing. Its functioning is given to a special interaction between a big wheel and a heavy boulder that compose the machine, both weighing 55 quintals. 
The two are perfectly in balance, but the magic happens when this balance is broken: when a man starts walking inside the wheel, the bolder consequently slides left and right on some wood rollers, ironing the canvases.

The colors used to print our clothes are completely natural and made in the laboratories of our artisans.
