Maison Siccardi: new shopping bags made by women are born
Maison Siccardi launches its new collection of shoppers made in collaboration with Sartoria Sociale Il Gelso, a Turin-based reality that since 2015 has been committed to the themes of labour inclusiveness of the most fragile segments of society.
The result is a colourful, sparkling, summery collection, which combines stylistic value with social value, as it supports the project for the redemption and rehabilitation of women in prison conducted by the social tailoring company.
Within the walls of a prison, the seamstresses of Social Tailoring invest in the vocational training of women prisoners.
Together they spend hours sewing, but also chatting and talking.Shopper made of sturdy printed Canvas, with super-durable plain polyester lining.
Comfortable and very roomy for a trip out of town, but also perfect in the city
. Black leather handles, welded with double brass-plated studs for a super grip, half-zip closure, drawstring with snap hook for attaching keys or clutch bag and practical inside pocket. 100% Made in Turin.
Angelica Benoffi of Maison Siccardi says: ‘We chose to collaborate with this social tailor to support their activities inside the women’s prison. This collaboration therefore produces not only accessories, but above all value and hope for an independent future.”
Maison Siccardi is an Italian brand of fine handcrafted leather goods founded in 2012 by the Turinese entrepreneur Angelica Benoffi, creator and soul of the project.
With her refined atelier under the Mole, her tanners and her selected and strictly Italian artisans, Angelica has given life to a brand that represents authentic Made in Italy, the one that skilfully combines creativity and savoir faire à l’italienne, the one that is respectful and sustainable, capable of safeguarding craftsmanship, fair, slow and protected labour, people and the environment.
