behind the scenes at Gucci, Italy.
Check out this fascinating tour behind the scenes at Gucci in Italy. The leathers, the hardware, the craftsmenship. I'm not super into handbags - I just appreciate well-made goods and wow- I can't even imagine how long it takes to make the hardware from real bamboo. (Dealing with tolerances in a natural materials is tough)
Hat tip to the Materialiste for reporting it. (Image credit)
I interned with a leather craftswomen while in college, witnessing the the craft firsthand of inspecting hides, cutting the leather by hand and by steel rule die, then stitching the pieces carefully- with each puncture of the needle. You can see the goods we produced here: Acme Baggage
