<h2>Handcrafted in Italy</h2> <p>This is the third high-precision atelier we have worked with at Archibald. Our journey with tailoring began in Carrara, followed by an ongoing partnership with Saint Andrea, and now for our third stop, we have landed in Campo Basso with a tailor and atelier with a distinctly different flair. From the eyewear we started with, right through every workshop we have featured, the narrative in each was always proudly stating the years of experience of the artisans or the generational legacy of the business. Experience played a large role in their selection and the confidence we had in the partnership. However, our newest partner hails from much humbler beginnings. Experience is subverted by an obsession, a dream, and remarkable talent, as the craftsman leading this charge was awarded the coveted golden scissors award in Italy. We are excited as we extend the criterion for master craftsmen and embrace genuine talent.</p>

<h2>Knitted in Umbria, Italy</h2> <p>Made in Italy carries an almost instant validation in the world of Cashmere - however, it's never quite simple with many facilities choosing to cut corners and engage in lower-quality production in order to compete with the 'democratized offerings of fast-fashion.

<h2>Handcrafted in Limoges, France</h2> <p>Limoges has a long and proud history of enamel production that goes back as far as the 12th century. It was only after local repositories of kaolin were discovered in the late 18th century that the hard-paste porcelain industry as we know it took off. Today, it’s rather easy to find porcelain claiming to be from Limoges, and hard to find the genuine thing. Situated in the heart of Limoges, our workshop draws on the region’s centuries long knowledge of hard-paste porcelain to create and design pieces fit for the 21st Century. It’s proud to honour the traditional processes required to make fine porcelain, designed to a modern aesthetic to ensure the industry thrives well into the future. </p>

<h2>Handcrafted in Italy</h2> <p>In a city teaming with leather makers and sellers, it can be hard to find the best of the best. That’s because many shops and traders benefit from Florence’s world renown for excellence in leather tanning and craftsmanship, even though they sell a low grade or imitation product. Luckily, we stumbled across Daniele’s workshop on a summer evening as we were walking back from Santa Croce Square. It was the smell that caught our attention- we knew we had found something special. With a family history in leather craftsmanship, Daniele honours the traditional methods of making which Florence is revered for. Put simply- a Florentine product, made of leather sourced in Tuscany, hand-stitched by Florentine masters. The real thing, start to finish.</p>

<h2>Baked in Arsego, Italy</h2> <p>Colomba is a popular Italian Easter-time tradition, similar to it’s Christmas-time counterpart Panettone in texture and flavour. Traditionally made with Candied orange, vanilla and a crunchy almond glaze, it is baked in the shape of a dove, representing peace and renewal. Even the most talented Italian nonna won’t make a Colomba at home, swearing instead by her favourite baker and pre-ordering the cake ahead of time, giving the master chef enough time to painstakingly wait for the dough to rise over at least 30 hours. </p>

<h2>Knitted in Umbria, Italy</h2> <p>Made in Italy carries an almost instant validation in the world of Cashmere - however, it's never quite simple with many facilities choosing to cut corners and engage in lower-quality production in order to compete with the 'democratized offerings of fast-fashion. Seeking somewhere with exceptional standards for the knitwear in our 'Quintessential' collection, we searched through many of the boutique facilities peppered across the country (mainly around Piedmont, Genoa, Bologna, and finally Umbria), until we found a place that was rather special. The founding craftsman of this workshop in Umbria took his first step into the world of textiles and knitwear at the age of seventeen, when he accepted an apprenticeship working for his aunt. A renowned artisan herself, she groomed him for over a decade until he had garnered the experience and contacts he felt necessary to open his own shop. Today, the small business that opened with just two pieces of machinery has expanded under the watchful eyes of his family, who continue to run the workshop. These artisans craft beautiful knitwear from some of the highest quality materials for luxury houses all over the world. Most important to them is the continuation of beautiful, authentic Italian craftsmanship.</p>

<h2>Handmade in Italy</h2> <p>The first craftsman we have partnered with for our Redemption Handwelted collection operates a small shoemaking atelier in the Montegranaro region of Italy. Montegranaro is a fairly industrial part of Italy, known for shoemaking. The advantage of this placement meant smaller artisans who were not fully vertically integrated and preferred to focus on the highest end and most traditional forms of handmade shoes could work together in a guild like system that is very similar to the one that operates in Sabae, Japan and creates our Japanese eyewear. As with Japan, the selection of which artisans are chosen to take care of each process on a given product is made by the lead craftsmen, in this case, an individual we are very proud and fortunate to partner with. One could say this seems like deja vu, for it is once again a father and son team of craftsman leading the project, however this time something is different. Not only do they rarely engage in making footwear with alternative constructions, each detail is openly and widely discussed and are eager to add to their vast knowledge to improve the end product. It is that dedication to continuous improvement, over 80 years of combined experience spanning two generations, as well as the openness to discourse and opinions with the person who we were very fortunate to join us in the execution of this endeavour that grew our confidence that this was the right fit. They understand Archibald, understand what we are trying to do and our incredibly proud about each product they deliver and representing true artistry. </p>

<h2>Baked in Arsego, Italy</h2> <p>Colomba is a popular Italian Easter-time tradition, similar to it’s Christmas-time counterpart Panettone in texture and flavour. Traditionally made with Candied orange, vanilla and a crunchy almond glaze, it is baked in the shape of a dove, representing peace and renewal. Even the most talented Italian nonna won’t make a Colomba at home, swearing instead by her favourite baker and pre-ordering the cake ahead of time, giving the master chef enough time to painstakingly wait for the dough to rise over at least 30 hours. </p>

<h2>Handcrafted in Italy</h2> <p>Our driving shoes are handcrafted in Montegranaro, in the Marche region of central Italy, by G.Bellesi, a master artisan with nearly half a century’s experience producing footwear for some of the world’s most well known luxury fashion brands. It's an intimate place, nestled in scenic hills a stone's throw from the Adriatic numbering just over 10,000 inhabitants. Montegranaro has become synonymous with impeccable quality in men's shoes, with the first cobbler's in the area dating as far back as the 14th century.

<h2>Made in Vicenza, Italy</h2> <p>An Italian alligator leather may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but in our case it’s entirely accurate. Sourced from sustainable suppliers in Zimbabwe, where the production of alligator leather is a vitally expanding rural economy, our family-owned workshop based in Vicenza tans, dyes and treats their alligator leather entirely in-house. So careful are they with the provenance of their raw materials, that not only do they only source CITES adhering (that’s the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to the uninitiated) materials, they themselves are licensed to award CITES certification to others. With almost half a century of knowledge on where to get the best of the best (in the best possible way) behind us, we’re quite confident our watch straps are simply unparalleled. </p>

<h2>Knitted in Umbria, Italy</h2> <p>Made in Italy carries an almost instant validation in the world of Cashmere - however, it's never quite simple with many facilities choosing to cut corners and engage in lower-quality production in order to compete with the 'democratized offerings of fast-fashion. Seeking somewhere with exceptional standards for the knitwear in our 'Quintessential' collection, we searched through many of the boutique facilities peppered across the country (mainly around Piedmont, Genoa, Bologna, and finally Umbria), until we found a place that was rather special. The founding craftsman of this workshop in Umbria took his first step into the world of textiles and knitwear at the age of seventeen, when he accepted an apprenticeship working for his aunt. A renowned artisan herself, she groomed him for over a decade until he had garnered the experience and contacts he felt necessary to open his own shop. Today, the small business that opened with just two pieces of machinery has expanded under the watchful eyes of his family, who continue to run the workshop. These artisans craft beautiful knitwear from some of the highest quality materials for luxury houses all over the world. Most important to them is the continuation of beautiful, authentic Italian craftsmanship.</p>

<h2>Handcrafted in Italy</h2> <p>In a city teaming with leather makers and sellers, it can be hard to find the best of the best. That’s because many shops and traders benefit from Florence’s world renown for excellence in leather tanning and craftsmanship, even though they sell a low grade or imitation product. Luckily, we stumbled across Daniele’s workshop on a summer evening as we were walking back from Santa Croce Square. It was the smell that caught our attention- we knew we had found something special. With a family history in leather craftsmanship, Daniele honours the traditional methods of making which Florence is revered for. Put simply- a Florentine product, made of leather sourced in Tuscany, hand-stitched by Florentine masters. The real thing, start to finish.</p>

<h2>Pedroni’s edge is the same thing most shelves try to imitate with dark glass and fake gravitas: real provenance and restraint</h2> <p>The Pedroni family has been in the balsamic vinegar business since 1862, rooted in Rubbiara (near Nonantola, Modena). With countless awards and a family business that stretches back hundreds of years, Pedroni's product is widely recognised amongst true Modenese as some of the best Balsamic Vinegars around. A simple, consumer-facing proof point: several of their IGP bottlings explicitly state no caramel added, a big deal in a category where caramel is legally allowed (within limits) and commonly used to “age-wash” cheap vinegar. They lean into wood + time, not flavorings, with product notes that repeatedly frame aroma as the result of barrel aging (and specific woods) rather than added aromatics. Pedroni sells both Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP (everyday, regulated) and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP (tightly-controlled, long-aged). </p>
