LAVANDALAB

FRANCESCA VENTRONI

Let's skirt the world! I create unique, unrepeatable and exciting tailored skirts to pay homage to our femininity.
Thanks to creativity, I was able to change my life and I also became a Bernina ambassador for all the women who, like me, make creativity their daily bread.
My lavender head and I are waiting for you!

We created a brand full of colours, with comfortable garments that you can wear from morning to night, with our suits you can even sleep in it! We want our kimonos and trousers can stay with you for a long time. We work with recycled fabrics for a more sustainable fashion. Our unique pieces are made for everyone: try to believe!

My name is Ambra and I am the creator of Le Peg Couture Lab.

Required skill: Knowing how to sew a button!

RIOT

Simone Villa

I'm Simone Villa, designer and crafter, behind the Riot brand.
I identify myself as a craftsman not so much for the work I do but, above all, for the way I experience the things that interest me. I find essential to test my intuitions and understand how a process works, to innovate it, making it personal and unique.
Through knitting, sewing, embroidery and textile art, I represent my subversive and nonconformist vision, also trying to stimulate curiosity and fight for inclusiveness.

the hobby lab

ainhoa moder

The Hobby Lab was born with the intention of giving life to ancestral traditions with a fresh and contemporary key. The goal is to connect us with the traditions of the past.
The ancient practices of weaving and spinning are a means of healing the spirit, you can enter into a magical world where we rediscover our talents and creative abilities.
Thus was born the processing of table heald comb looms, spindles for spinning, hand-spun artistic wools and in turn unique garments handcrafted as tradition dictates.

Studio Komòdo

Valeria Greggio

I would like people wearing my clothes to feel comfortable and confident. My style is a combination of eco-sustainability, craftsmanship and comfort. I propose a line of hand-made clothing with essential lines, which adapts to the figure and needs of the wearer, with a timeless style. I prefer stock footage from Italian and foreign companies, for a choice that looks to the environment.
So each dress has its own story.

levrieri e gomitoli

Virginia Sifoni

Levrieri e Gomitoli is a small handcrafted wool and cotton knitwear brand that I founded in 2009 after adopting my first greyhound rescued from mistreatment. Initially I was involved in making coats only for this type of dog, but over the years I have decided to "dress" all breeds. Later, I felt compelled to design sweaters for both dogs and owners. That's why I weave wool, cuddles and tails. My sweaters are all inspired by the lands of the North, and with them I express my love for Sweden and for the Nordic atmospheres.

W.CAMICIE

CRISTINA PEDROCCO

I select shirts, but not only, used, sample or vintage; I transform them to make them more contemporary and embroidery by hand.

The subjects of embroidery often come from the past, especially medieval and Renaissance. Medieval bestiaries, ancient botany, books on heraldry and Renaissance allegories and the inevitable travel companion, Dante’s Commedia.

I will be at Abilmente on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 February

lentamente shop

Valentina Cardona

My name is Valentina Cardona, I'm an entrepreneur and mother from Verona. I have always been passionate about manual arts, embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet and macramé. "Lentamente" was born from my need for a moment, during the day, where time slows down and expands. The time of artisanal productions is a time we are no longer used to. "Slowly" is a time for reflection, care, research. Born as a hobby, it is a laboratory where I produce objects and clothing for my little girl or people close to me, and it has recently become a shared space with all the people who want to buy objects produced "Slowly" with care and love in my time dilated.
