Atelier surrounded by small forests in the Tuscan countryside. That is our base. Warm sunshine, breeze.... A constantly changing sky pattern that can be seen from the shape and movement of clouds. Inspired by the changing beauty of nature every day, and we make things with care ONE by ONE.
Recently, we often hear the word "Sustainability." The origin of materials and sustainability...We started thinking about how we can propose eco-friendly fashion a few years ago. And we arrived at such an answer. "Let's propose one by one what we can do, even small things." The first thing we started was energy. All the energy needed at the factory was converted to private power generation using solar panels. And all the lights used in the factory were changed to LED lights. Today, all the energy we use is covered by our solar panels 100%.
Secondly, we also focused on materials. Lisa Conte's collection mainly uses sheep moutons. We re-examined the roots of the material, where and how it comes from. We have decided to use sheepskin that comes from farmers that raise sheep primarily for food. Most of the sheepskin is originally discarded as a by-product of food processing; however, we decided to buy materials from a supplier that could prove BYPRODUCT.
In addition, our attention to the materials is not only for purchase but also, we think about how we can carefully use it. Most of our garments are produced with consideration for how we can minimize waste in the cutting and pattern-making process; we study the best way to reduce consumption of the leather. Also, we use the leftover cutting to make the product without wasting as much as
possible, and we propose patchwork coats and accessories that make the most of these. Mouton is incredibly durable and has high insulation. It is a natural material that breathes. It is a sustainable material that can be recycled and has a very long life.
