CARLOTTA

Carlotta Savignano

I love embroidery, tailoring, and craftsmanship, passions that have been passed down to me by the women in my family. Out of passion and ethics, I create bijoux from upcycled fabrics and customize second-hand clothing.

JAVÌ

Jessica Avitabile

I am Jessica, and my slogan is "My woman's project to empower women." I am a fashion designer, image consultant, and sewing teacher. I have an atelier in Rivoli where I provide Armocromia, Bodyshape, and Facialshape consultations, as well as sewing courses for all levels. I design and create my women's clothing collections, crafting unique and artisanal pieces, lovingly hand-drawn and hand-sewn.

LE PEG COUTURE

Ambra e Diletta

My name is Ambra, and I am the creator of Le Peg Couture Lab. Together with my sister Diletta, we travel to markets and fairs to "wrap" you all from head to toe, and in our atelier in Casale Monferrato, we will amaze you with super-bright effects.

From adjustable bands to headbands, pareo skirts to vintage blazers personalized with fringes and feathers, I love dynamic, colorful fashion made of unique pieces.

At Abilmente, we will teach you how to customize jackets or jeans; we will bring the materials such as fringes, feathers, patches, trimmings, and more, and you bring your blazers and jeans ready to be sewn together. Required skill: Knowing how to sew a button!

MAISON MAEL

Manuela ad Elisabetta

We are Manuela and Elisabetta, and together, we founded our Maison MaEl. Born in the 80s, at almost 40 years old, we decided to fulfill our dream of opening a business centered around the world of sewing and tailoring. Being passionate about sewing since we were young girls, we met during a professional course in pattern making and tailoring. When it became clear that our paths were very similar, we tried creating garments together, and at that point, we realized our synergy was strong. In January 2020, our company MAISON MAEL was born. Our motto is "Helping your ideas take shape."

We love sewing our collections or custom-made pieces and sharing our knowledge with those who wish to learn and create their own handmade wardrobe!

POL.IN COUTURE

Paola Paletto e Sefora Pons

Our garments are named after wild herbs and medicinal plants. They are crafted using predominantly natural, vintage, and end-of-series fabrics, and each piece is produced in small quantities, with careful attention to artistic and artisanal details.

The linocuts that illustrate the collections are engraved and hand-printed using water-based inks, an artisanal technique that creates small, unique, and unrepeatable details.

ROCCHETTIEPOIS

Grazia Ciletta

I am Grazia, a Sicilian with a weakness for neatly arranged spools of thread by color and polka dot patterns. I lived in Turin for 12 years and have recently moved to Catania with my family. I have a blog where I publish creative sewing tutorials and showcase the garments I am sewing for my sustainable wardrobe. I organize creative sewing workshops for both adults and children because sewing is beneficial for all ages.

SARTINBANCO

Grazia e Delphine

We are Grazia and Delphine, two women, mothers, and friends who have turned their creativity into a means of livelihood.

What do we do? We create feminine garments with soft fabrics and various shapes to enhance the beauty and diversity of the female body. We use surplus fabrics and strive to reclaim all the scraps from the production process.

THE HOBBY LAB

Ainhoa Moder

The Hobby Lab is born with the intent of bringing ancient traditions to life with a fresh and contemporary twist. The goal is to connect with the traditions of the past.

The ancient practices of weaving and spinning are a means of nurturing the spirit, allowing us to enter a magical world where we rediscover our talents and creative abilities.

Thus, the production of table looms, spinning wheels, artistic hand-spun yarns, and, in turn, unique handmade garments, as tradition dictates, comes to life.

I am the creator of Tintarelladilana, a small artisanal brand where I use knitting, machine sewing, and crochet to create amigurumi inspired by children's storytelling and a small line of clothing and accessories for both children and adults.-hand clothing.
