Verdi

Founded in England by Swedish-Italian creative director Gabriella Verdi and her team, the label pays homage to Italian artisans and traditional production techniques to create exquisite, timeless pieces.

“Verdi is the culmination of a career spent working with true masters of their trade and through the brand I want to showcase their skills with examples of genuine luxury,” Gabriella said.

"I believe that genuine luxury is measured by the ability of a piece to be considered an heirloom, something that is not only crafted to last, but that maintains its quality and style through time.”

Gabriella has her family roots in the Lombardy region of northern Italy but has spent the last 30 years living and working in fashion hotspots throughout Europe and Asia, giving her unique insight into the stylistic demands of today’s discerning woman.

This extensive experience of travel and foreign living serves as the backdrop to the brand. At a time when today’s modern woman embraces the value of travel and experiences more than ever, Verdi's initial collection takes inspiration from the golden age of rail and ocean voyage with a selection of exquisite, made-to-order, vanity cases.

Made by Florentine artisans and using leather sourced from a prestigious Santa Croce sull'Arno tannery, each case is offered in two exceptional calfskin qualities - grained and crocodile - with an inner lining of precious nappa and finished with bespoke Italian hardware.

They are available in three different sizes and a delicate palette of four colours, making them equally befitting as a treasured travel companion or a statement piece for the home.

Using the finest materials and classic styling, Verdi aspires to make each exclusive piece the highlight of your collection.

The brand uses leathers derived exclusively as a by-product of food production and each hide has full traceability.

Verdi can be seen in British Vogue, Conde Nast Traveller, Harper's Bazaar and Elle.
