Quality and craftsmanship, like once upon a time
As a child, I often followed my father into the vineyard. I was enchanted by the gnarled wood of the olive trees, the chirping of the cicadas and the vines.
Today, I find that sense of wonder every time I work with leather: the texture and pungent scent of the leather take me back there, with my father.
My life flows between my vineyards, my family and the laboratory. This is reflected in each of my creations.
The tenacity with which the curls of the tendrils climb recalls that of the welt. This thin and resistant strip of leather, capable of wrapping itself naturally, is the true signature of my work. It is not only an aesthetic detail; it is also a symbol of authenticity and silent strength.
Each of my bracelets and key rings is more than just an accessory: it is a symbol of the resistance and style of men like my father, from that distant era when everything was done properly.
In the Florentine countryside, where the earth and wood tell ancient stories, each Roberto Mantellassi creation is born from a carefully chosen strip of leather: the welt .
The inspiration
Inspired by the lines of vines, the welt is worked and woven by hand as only a master craftsman knows how.
This premium leather strip makes the bracelets and key rings durable and suitable for everyday use, without neglecting elegance.
