Atelier Verdi creates exclusive luxury leather accessories for today's modern woman on the move. Designed in England and beautifully handcrafted by skilled master artisans in Italy, the label's collection of made-to-order vanity cases and clutch bags take inspiration from the glamour and occasion of early 20th century rail and ocean voyage. I created Atelier Verdi as a passion project inspired by the early 20th-century rail and ocean travel. My leather accessories were developed without compromising on quality whilst offering a unique product which has longevity. Being able to work with artisanal craftsmen and highly skilled factories in Italy have always been a dream of mine and this project has been truly inspiring. We are currently in the process of developing a beautiful capsule collection in 100% Cashmere, natural dyed, which will be launched in the beginning of Summer 2021.
