MY PERFECT BAG

Finally the perfect bag for me, as I ride a bike, I cross the street while reading a book, I've got my head in the clouds and I fill up the bags to their maximum capacity and then I never find the phone when it rings and the gloss plays hide and seek in the darkest corners of the bag. Yes, I found it! As Paul Meccanico's bags not only have a fresh and cheerful design even inside, but also are fitted with reflectors and are full of pockets, compartments and detachable purse, and even a messy, slob like me can take the book without hesitate from the side pocket and keep walking calmly reading and fantasizing.
 Paul Meccanico is the alter ego of Paul Albert Dari, the fashion designer who chose Italy as his country. Each and every item branded Paul Meccanico is one-of-a-kind because it is made, cut and manufactured by expertly hands, indeed, piece-by-piece, all the elements featuring the Paul Meccanico collections. The choice of the raw materials matching an evergreen fabric like the genuine leather with the underground touch of the lorry tarpaulin. Each bag and belt is unique and different!

 Finalmente la borsa perfetta per me, che vado in bici, che attraverso la strada leggendo un libro, che la testa ce l'ho tra le nuvole e che riempio le borse fino all'inverosimile e poi non trovo mai il telefono quando squilla e il gloss si è andato a nascondere nell'angolino più buio della borsa. Eh si perchè quelle di Paul Meccanico sono borse che oltre ad avere un design fresco e allegro anche all'interno, sono munite di catarifrangente e sono piene di tasche, borsetta staccabile e scompartimenti; e perfino una disordinata, incasinata come me prende il libro senza esitare dalla tasca laterale e può passeggiare serenamente leggendo e fantasticando.
Paul Meccanico è l’alter ego di Paul Albert Dari, fashion designer che ha scelto l'Italia come sua terra di elezione. Ogni capo Paul Meccanico è unico perché è artigianale, tagliato e costruito a mano da esperti artigiani italiani che realizzano, pezzo per pezzo, tutti gli elementi delle collezione. La scelta dei materiali mette insieme un tessuto evergreen come la pelle con il tocco underground del telone da camion. Ogni borsa o cinta è unica e diversa! http://www.paulmeccanico.com/

THE TRAMONTANO BAG

Since 1865, in Napoli, Tramontano designs and produces bags, luggage and leather goods. The story of the brand Tramontano started in the second half of the last century and is tied to a production both creative and refined.  Creations in natural leather and reptilian skin standing out for the continuous search for ethnic and exotic materials in which the Mediterranean essence is expressed in each detail. The company has developed and evolved becoming a leading brand in the world of quality handicrafts with production of leather and of goods associated with the use of natural hides and hand-made.   Tramontano Arte In 2001, Davide de Blasio, Chairman of Tramontano, started to establish relationships with many international artists who loved the Tramontano’s skills to combine tradition, research, creativity and design. Laurie Anderson, Enzo Cucchi, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Mimmo Paladino, Valerio Adami, Bernardì Roig, Antony and the Johnsons, Lello Esposito, Daniel Canogar, Lou Reed, Doug and Mike Starn, Dionisio Gonzalez. Many collaborations with artists has been produced since then and in 2006, Davide e Rosalba de Blasio decided to give a stable form to this activity and a foundation was born. The Tramontano Arte Foundation, aware of the role that a business reality such as Tramontano can have in supporting the social and cultural development of the territory, works around the creativity process and especially on the link between the traditional handycraft and the contemporary art and design.
