We say ‘Crafted in Italy’ to reflect a renewed commitment to celebrating the authenticity, care, and artistry that define true Italian craftsmanship. It is our way of honoring tradition while setting a higher standard for luxury in the future.
Each of our bags are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, dedicated to preserving traditional craftsmanship. To honor their dedication and craftsmanship, each of our most iconic bags are named after the people who create them; Filippo and his team.
"Our mission is to slow down the pace of fashion. Genuine craftsmanship requires time, time is luxury"
From the above-mentioned mantra, we wish to highlight the emotional shift in the definition of luxury. Historically, luxury was accessible to only a few, defined predominantly by high prices. Today, we believe luxury encompasses much more.
People increasingly value time — to enjoy, create, and reflect — as a core aspect of luxury. The fashion industry has long underestimated the importance of the design process and craftsmanship, flooding the market and overwhelming consumers with excessive collections, seasons, and products.
We refuse to accelerate production at the expense of quality. This commitment ensures that our products are not only long-lasting but also timelessly relevant, embodying a slow design ethos that remains contemporary.
To ensure full transparency in our supply chain, we source all our leather from a single trusted partner: Giancarlo and Piero at Overlord S.P.A. in Tuscany, just around the corner from our manufacturing atelier.
Giancarlo is a true expert in leather craftsmanship, holding a Silver Rating from the Leather Working Group. Certificates aside, their team is renowned for producing some of the finest calf leathers available: durable, refined, and made to last.
Our close, long-standing relationships with the people behind our materials are the foundation of KONÉ. They allow us to uphold uncompromising quality while maintaining a clear understanding of our impact on both people and planet.
