Interdisciplinary artist, writer and designer Gabo Guzzo’s one-of-a-kind bags are truly works of art.
The Italian designer’s ethos focuses on “more art, less production”, and encourages the freedom of creativity to create awe-inspiring pieces that take time, but last generations. “I initiated this interdisciplinary journey to nurture the freedom of creativity, promote responsible choices, and instil hope in the passion of endangered artisan communities. Said Gabo Guzzo. “It serves as a means to cherish our irreplaceable human value and our irreplaceable Earth.”
Made exclusively in Italy, each Gabo Guzzo handbag features distinctive design elements, making every creation truly unique. From custom colours, special leathers, hand-painted finishes, or the tone of the gemstone, each element of the bags is truly special and one-of-a-kind.
Gabo Guzzo offers a bespoke service, meaning clients can express their creative freedom by commissioning handbag creations that best reflect their individuality and lifestyle. His one-of-a-kind creations talk to customers who genuinely value what they buy and have opted for wiser shopping, also as a way to protect our planet’s natural resources.
Every piece is one-of-a-kind, entirely handcrafted by master leather-good artisans and goldsmiths in Florence, Italy and available in very limited quantities. Inside the handbags there is a plate with a unique number and the handwritten signatures of Gabo Guzzo and the artisan who made the handbags.
The House offers handbags made with a variety of materials: calfskin, lambskin, sustainable exotic skins, precious metals and other more experimental materials. Each bag is embellished with hand-cut precious and semi-precious stones, including sapphires, tourmaline, amethyst, jade, lapiz lazul and more. All of the handbags made of calfskin are made of premium leather with a natural texture and a soft touch. All colours are custom-made.
For the ultimate finishing touch, each Gabo Guzzo creation is presented in a luxury handmade box or leather trunk box. An exquisitely unique touch, the House’s luxury trunks protect its iconic handbags for many years, especially while travelling.
