A DICIANNOVEVENTITRE / A1923 by Simone Cecchetto explores the properties of materials and construction through the exploration of new territory. Reinterpreting existing techniques A1923 pays homage to the work of true artisans and their devotion to craftsmanship. Through the production process of leather and construction, the product communicates the value of time.
The quality of the boots and sneakers produced by A Diciannoveventitre is outstanding. Often made of thick vegetable tanned (horse) leather, all pieces are built to last and the brand’s claim is “Handmade in Italy, Do not handle with Care”. Price tags are accordingly. But what you gonna get for that money is a unique high-end handcrafted product that might last you a lifetime – if you handle it with a little bit of care at least.
