Handmade in Italy · One of a kind
Bags made entirely by hand in Italy — woven, crocheted, embroidered. No two are alike, and none will ever be made again.
Giovanna Viterbo works in the tradition of the Italian artisan: slowly, by hand, one creation at a time. Each bag begins as an idea and ends as an object that will never have a twin.
Heir to the lineage of Saverio de Bellis, she carries a southern-Italian sensibility for material and form — leather hand-woven thread by thread, velvet shaped over an afternoon, crochet built stitch upon stitch.
«Non si producono. Si creano.»They are not produced. They are created.
Presented in Italy
A private cabinet of singular pieces.
Each is photographed exactly as it exists. What you see is the only one there is.
Made the slow way — by a single pair of hands.
There is no production line and no second run. Materials are chosen one at a time — Italian leather, velvet, crochet wool, bamboo, brass — and worked entirely by hand.
It is this refusal to repeat that makes each bag what it is: not a product, but a possession. When a piece is taken, it is gone for good.
