Meticulous Detail


The son of Italian artisans, Vince had a discerning eye for fine detail in art, architecture, apparel, handbags, and footwear.
His exacting standards are reflected in the artisanal leather craft, complex weaving, hand-applied studs and grommets, and strong, sculpted hardware that hallmark our shoes and handbags.
