When three work as one
- • ScarletVirgo is a brand of handmade bags launched by three young friends
- • They handcraft about a thousand pieces per year
- • All items are made with Italian materials and can be customised
It all began with love. Federico Gastoldi and Céline Claire have been a couple in real life for years: they were in their twenties when they started sewing little purses and other small gifts for each other. In no time, their friends caught on and began asking for the same little items because they liked them so much. When Federico and Céline’s creations finally hit the local craft markets, it was a success. They decided to quit their jobs and in 2012 ScarletVirgo, their brand of handcrafted bags, backpacks and accessories, was officially born. Luna Palumbo joined them in 2015. From loyal customer and friend, she turned into a business partner. Nowadays, the three of them make about a thousand pieces per year in their workshop and boutique in Milan, where customers are welcome to go and watch ScarletVirgo pieces being carefully created.
