Iacobella Gaetani, founder and creative director of the brand Iacobella, creates bags designed and handmade to be useful and playful, resistant and beautiful. All bags are handmade and hand-sewn with care and pride by expert leather craftsmen in the brand’s Florence workshop. Their skilled artisans belong to a Florentine tradition of leather processing that goes back many centuries but is becoming increasingly rare. The realization of their handbags guarantees the longevity of the bags themselves while also preserving the skills necessary to make them.
Each bag is individually decorated with a gem that doubles as a closure. The stones are all unique, each selected and hand-cut by the gemologist and master cutter Leonardo Arcadi, who buys the stones from small family-run mines in Brazil.
Iacobella strongly believes in its responsibility to protect the natural environment. For each online sale, a tree is planted in Guatemala. Visit zeroC02 to see how it works.
