Italian Craftsmanship Rooted in Naples
Naples, a region with a history of artisanal metalwork - grounding the piece in a specific place & tradition instead of anonymous production.
FLUIDITY & TIMELESSNESS IN DESIGN
Each piece is designed with the intention for versatility in how it can be styled & worn.
Small-Batches, Thoughtfully Made.
Each piece is handcrafted by italian artisans in limited quantities, with some made-to-order.
Growing up in Naples, Giunia developed a taste for raw, decadent and rugged textures inspired by her surrounding architecture and nature. Every piece is a convergence of those two worlds.
She collaborates with master artisan Franco and his son, Ugo. Giunia wants every creative vision to be translated by skilled hands, while holding a connection to the past.
At just 10 years old, Franco has been in the workshop watching and learning from his uncle Vitale. He said, craft “starts from childhood, stolen with your eyes, transferring it to the heart, and finally to the hands.”
The process starts with a sketch that’s sent to the artisans, who then take a day or two to craft the shape. Once the mould is created, it takes 2-3 hours to make each piece.
The leather pieces are also a heritage craft from her hometown. She sources them from places that have unsold or overproduced vintage leather from the 90s. Each piece is handcrafted at an atelier.
