Made from reclaimed soft leather and raw brass (hand-signed by the maker), “polpo” can be used as a distinctive keychain, or as one-of-a-kind tassel that can transform any bag, case, luggage, or tote into a statement piece. And take a look at the different colors of polpo in our online shop!

Charlotte wears our new riflessi belt & buckle created in collaboration with Lotte.99
Belts are often overlooked when we think about putting our clothes on in the morning. But an elegant and distinctive belt can be a game-changing styling tool. That’s why - in collaboration with Lotte.99 - we have created “riflessi”. This handmade accessory is inspired by reflections on the surface of the water. The one of a kind buckle (each buckle is different and unique) is handcrafted in raw brass and the patina is made with sustainable household products such as sea salt, lemon, vinegar and more. Just buckle up and be ready to get attention!
This unique belt is a must-have accessory. It comes in all sizes and it’s unisex!
Using household items like vinegar, lemon, sea salt, and water to handcraft jewelry is nothing new. To make unique pieces, it’s enough to use some imagination… and have a basic knowledge of jewelry-making. These “riflessi blu” earrings – inspired by reflections on the water surface - are handmade using several products that I found in my house. The process takes two to three days, but it’s worth the wait. What do you think?

One of the things that I like the most about jewelry-making is to create pieces that are totally original and one of a kind. I often oxidize silver, bronze, and copper and add patinas to produce exclusive pairs of earrings, rings, cuffs, or necklaces. I also use everyday household materials like sea salt and fine salt, eggs, water, vinegar, etc. to change colors and/or add texture to a specific piece. The result? Pieces that are always different from each other (and fun to make!)
