Cordini Rita

The handbag crafter

Ilaria Ricci is the crafter behind Cordini Rita brand.
Ever since she was a child, Ilaria has always been passionate about art and fashion, a fondness passed on to her by her mother, who used to work as a haute couture seamstress.
As an adult, she then decided to dedicate herself to craftsmanship, combining her passion for fabrics and accessories with her manual talent. She started her own handbag brand in 2014, after learning leather goods techniques as a self-taught, learning the secrets of the trade from the best luxury crafters and visiting their workshops to observe them at work.
She then opened her workshop in her home town, Volpara, a small village in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, where he now makes handmade bags. A craft production that pays particular attention to the environment, which includes unique and exclusive pieces, as well as small series, all made with top quality fabrics and leathers.
