BENEDETTA BRUZZICHES IS A DIMENSION GOVERNED BY SPECIAL LAWS WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, BUT NOTHING WORKS AS IT DOES ELSEWHERE.
WHAT
Our creations are born in the hills of Caprarola, in a factory nestled in the woods of Tuscia, where art and craft constantly dialogue. Here, a close-knit group of young artisans, led by Benedetta and her brother Agostino, meticulously care for each bag, devoting themselves to creating timeless jewelry.
In 2009, the Bruzziches brothers started a company where the value of each individual is paramount and where wonder is the light that illuminates the days. Since then, the famous bags “with a name of their own” have been spontaneously chosen by extraordinary women in every corner of the world.
WHY
What surrounds us shapes and molds us, and the Bruzziches brothers have made this awareness the hallmark of their success:
“Our mission was not only to create bags, but to be able to do it from home, in the place where we feel we belong. Maybe having fun with a group of friends that was growing day by day! Without leaving just because we were told we would never succeed in a small country town.
It became clear to us that success exceeded the mere pursuit of conformity or collective consensus. Innovation comes from the authentic expression of our identity and the rich texture of our local heritage. And if it spoke to us of cultivated fields instead of luxury handbags, we, good sons of farmers, knew how to listen to the earth beneath our feet and reap its best fruits.” sayBenedetta & Agostino Bruzziches.
HOW
The production value of Benedetta Bruzziches bags was imagined and developed from the possibilities and opportunities of the place. The brand builds its production on the community and artisans of the Caprarola area by gracefully inserting itself into the slow cadence of life in a place that has a rural spirit in its veins.
ARTISANS
Today we boast a 2,000-square-meter workshop within which Benedetta’s artistic soul with her style department, and the hardworking hands of our artisans coexist. The value given by working side by side on each individual process is the secret to the quality of our products.
SEAMSTRESSES
The brand has expanded its presence in the area by reviving a production system that employed many women until the early 2000s. Here in Tuscia, in fact, women would gather in groups to knit, often for large luxury brands. This is how our decentralized production system was born, involving more than fifty local craftswomen who work on our creations, stitching the crystal mesh in their homes and each at their own pace, shaping a profession around their lives and not vice versa.
AND MUCH MORE
We also aim to create a network that brings together the best artisans, designers and creative people in our area and beyond-after all, travel is always a source of discovery. Different skills and professionalism to be used to create objects that arise from the connection between processes and visions, making multidisciplinarity our strength. An art object, in fact, made from the heart. The heart of Nando, who works with methacrylate for furniture, and who shaped Ariel. The heart of goldsmiths Stanis and Lucia, who shape bags as if they were jewelry.
