The Unbearable Softness of Skin

Did you know that Italians make nearly 500 hand gestures every day? And none of these involve physical contact—which, perhaps, is a good thing.
Touch is the final piece in the puzzle of experience and life, the sense that allows us to create unforgettable emotional moments: the first kiss, the first bike ride, the first fall. Touch binds us to moments, which, taken together, are the spice of life itself.

For us, as a company, touch is also the means by which we elevate Arketipo’s experience and vision every day. Everyone knows that the sensation and comfort conveyed by a fabric are important, but what about leather?

“Touch connects us to the moment.”

In addition to evoking emotions distinct from those associated with fibers, this particular material requires a completely different approach and level of precision.
Dyeing, drying, testing: even though the process seems the same, in reality it couldn’t be more different. Leather is a natural material entirely distinct from fabrics, requiring its own unique expertise.

Our mission is to select materials that stand the test of time—materials that stand out for their softness, color, and the way they feel against the skin. When you touch them, they should make time stand still for a moment, becoming a personal experience.
