Handcrafted in Italy

Just an hour and a half outside of Milan, close to the Italian border, there’s a family owned and operated leather goods workshop that specializes in high end pieces. This family of artisans has dedicated their life’s work to creating and upholding only the highest quality goods. They specialize in cases and speciality bags. Their bespoke, custom creations are coveted by individuals lucky enough to commission a piece. Archibald is pleased to announce a partnership and collaboration with them as we journey into the world of custom cases and bags.

##In Italy, things work the old way; it's all about contacts if you want the first pick. After years of establishing a name as one of the finest bespoke leathermakers in the country, across two generations - this family knows the right people and gets the first pick across many of the most prestigious tanneries in Italy. This means for every specific bag; they are able to not only choose the best leather fit for purpose but also obtain the first pick from the tannery when that skin is produced - a privilege usually reserved for the most prestigious luxury houses in the world.

##Grignola artifacts are a small world unto themselves, designed to measure for the customer and followed with him in the process, step by step. This is the best guarantee of their uniqueness. But not only that: their exclusive creations, each an example of the tradition and quality of made in Italy, also manage to convey the great love for ancient workmanship, together with maniacal perfection in every finish. Owning a Grignola bag is a special pleasure, a privilege from a time that seemed lost and instead, thanks to the traditions at Grignola is rediscovered. A unique story that continues to this day.
