History of the afore-mentioned companies:
Ribelle Srl, Carpi
Ribelle Srl was founded in 2002 by Marco Gasparini. The company embellishes clothes and accessories, such as shoes,
bags and belts, to mention just a few, with rhinestones, stud and cabochon applications. It also specializes in
serigraphy and digital printing on leather labels and cardboard logos. It hot prints logos and designs on other materials
and, with a laser, also engraves and cuts writing or logos.
Ricami Laura Srl, Reggio Emilia
The company was founded in 1990 by Ms. Laura, one of designer Gianfranco Ferrè's embroiderers. In just a few
months, Ricami Laura became the embroidery company of reference for various luxury Brands offering a 100%, top
quality, Made in Italy product. Nowadays the company employs over 40 highly qualified workers, not only expert
embroiderers with thirty years' experience, but also seamstresses, patternmakers and designers. The company boasts
an abundant and tight network of connections with various luxury brand suppliers and collaborates with fashion
houses in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Ricami Laura is the only remaining workshop on a global scale that still
produces "Hand-machine embroidery". The numerous embroiderers work on embroidery machines from the 1960s
and '70s that are entirely hand and pedal operated. The finished product is therefore unique and inimitable. In fact,
creation has no limits when it comes to hand-machines since all the materials can be applied and worked by hand:
feathers, beads, threads, soutaches, cords, ribbons, sequins, braids, metal, wood, plastic, leather. The company now
develops free electronic systems for each brand that may require it and develops the production.
Vittoria Bonini Sartoria, Bologna
Vittoria opened its own Atelier in 1992. The main feature of the Atelier and the designer's work is originality, the
result of constant stylistic research, attention to tailoring details, the use of precious fabrics and the uniqueness of
made-to-measure garments. Nowadays, the company works with Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Canada, Norway
and Korea. The clothes are personalized: starting from personal needs and characteristics, they represent and
interpret the unique style of every bride, also with the designer's personal consultancy.
