The roots of the brand
“Good things, take time. In a world where everything moves so fast, I appreciate the time that it takes to build something of value.”
Violante Nessi always wanted to build a purposeful brand close to her heart and vision, following her core values: conserving tradition and authenticity in workmanship, being transparent, enhancing a sustainable environment and above all, prioritising humans.
Before launching her eponymous brand, Violante went back to her Italian roots and took the time to learn from scratch about artisanship, craftsmanship and raw materials – Thereafter, she dedicated extensive research, traveling through Italy to meet local family businesses and developed her supply chain with the aspiration to partner and build relationships with skilled artisans in total devotion to their craft and celebrate the values of Italian excellence.
It is crucial to know how our manufacturers work and develop the garments along with us – Our shared objective is to honour our past and innovate for the future as a family – This has been possible by working with small factories and mills across Italy. We are proud to work with independent masters committed to excellence who honour Italian artistry with their knowledge expertise. Every material, every detail, every supplier, all share the same respect for traditional Italian craftsmanship.
We work along with responsible and ethical artisans, these are family owned factories that pass along their values and artisanal techniques on to later generations, reassuring human integrity. From the homage paid to our signature handcrafted buttons, created by the late Mrs. Abelia, to the brother-sister lead product development in Emilia – Violante Nessi has become a family.
The ‘slow luxury’ approach of Violante Nessi well-suits the modern mindset and intentions of the world-sensitive woman, whose informed fashion choices meet the needs of a ‘growingly green’ contemporary era.
