A special selection of diverse styles and colors for this store fair
Antonello products are made by the people of Sardinia, using materials sourced from the island. Sardinia is the birthplace of designer Antonello Tedde, and his deep affection for his homeland significantly influences his creations, including efforts to reduce the environmental impact of his manufacturing.
The materials used in Antonello products, such as wool and linen from organic farms, and plants like Myrtle, Rockrose, wild olive, and Canna used for handle cores, are all native to Sardinia. These materials are handcrafted by the island's people using traditional looms.
The distinctive textured weave, with its diverse expressions achieved through the combination of yarn materials and colors, offers a strong impact as a fashion item. Simultaneously, its timeless appeal ensures it can be cherished for years, transcending trends. Furthermore, the production method, "made only upon order," aligns with contemporary values by carefully utilizing limited resources.
For the fair at doinel, a special selection of diverse styles and colors has been prepared. This is a rare opportunity to see a wide array of patterns, which are not usually available to view all at once.
