Some stories begin with a concept, an ispiration and a sketch on a paper. Some of those come to life only when a skilled dedicated artisan get involved in the process and an exact selection of materials places the condition of a great outcome.

Simple as that: passion, dexterity and a some good supplies.

We recently had a feedback with a dear custumer that purchased a kit of brass items from our collection for a new personal project purpose.

The result is a refined suitcase hand-crafted with a precious details attention and a tasteful leather cover enriched with some of iconic brass pieces from our collection.

Our client Andrey shared an interesting insight on the whole process from design development, behind the scene of the entire lavoration and components assembly up to the final outcome.

The process starts with the handmade shaping of a careful high-quality material:
