Our Passions

Gabriella Verdi, 53, was born in Dalarna, Sweden to a Swedish mother and Italian father. Founder of Atelier Verdi. An experienced creative director, she has lived and worked across Europe and Asia. She currently spends her time between Stockholm and London with her partner.

As the world becomes ever more socially aware and strives for deeper sustainability and social responsibility, the luxury fashion industry has a big role to play. For us at Atelier Verdi, supply-chain transparency is a critical part of the puzzle.

Atelier Verdi is delighted to present the first creative content produced by students from Nuova Accademia Di Belle Arti (NABA). This first instalment comes from emerging French-Canadian talent, Marine Jessica Caron.

The artisans that craft each Atelier Verdi piece are at the heart of our collections, but their skill demands that they have only the very best raw materials with which to create.

Master Artisan Fabrizio Verniani. We first met Signore Verniani in the summer of 2019, when we were treated to a look around his personal collection of most treasured pieces from seven decades of work. It’s thanks to his craftsmanship, creativity and graciousness that Atelier Verdi is what it is today and we’re proud that we now also have pieces in that collection.

Italy has been synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and luxury for centuries, and “Made in Italy” leather bags are revered today more than ever; but why?

To understand the phenomenon you need to look as far back as the Roman Empire, when teams of leather workers were assembled to supply the ancient army with saddles, sandals, and satchels.

Gabriella might have been born in Sweden but her creative genes stem from musical ties in her Italian heritage. But unlike her musical family, Gabriella’s passion has always been fashion and when she left her childhood home in the Dalarna countryside she began training as a product developer.
