Since 1913 Manifattura di Domodossola has been a byword with the art of weaving carried out by unceasing product research and innovation, and by a completely in-house production chain
On the screen set in the center of the large stand, run images of the different phases of Manifattura di Domodossola’s production of semi-finished products. The items are the result of a unceasing contamination between design and craftsmanship, between technological innovation and manual practices. Having celebrated 110 years of history and success, the company, based in Villadossola, Piedmont, keeps on working on the infinite ways of weaving processing, intended for the leather goods sectors (both belts and bags), interior design, footwear, costume jewelry and clothing. There are two brands: “Oxilla defines the products reserved for interior design, therefore large weaves in precious materials such as vegetable leather dyed with water-based colors, copper and different textile fibers”, explains Giulia Battistini, Communication Manager. “Athison is our finished accessory brand that characterizes belts, bags and small leather goods made in-house. For the SS season we presented at Lineapelle, we opted for pastel colors in the most natural tones, however we are displaying only a part of our creative range: weaving is always in fashion, seasonless and unisex, and the totally in-house production chain allows us to customize materials, colors and designs to the top, according to specific needs. The only limit is the designer’s imagination.” Sustainability is expressed through the incessant search for quality, the responsible use of resources, the use of natural, recyclable and certified raw materials. “We mainly use regenerated leather, viscose obtained from processing waste, copper to create fabrics of a certain rigidity and resistance. The cotton is waxed using an ancient secret recipe, the dyes are water-based and the colors are non-toxic”.
The beauty of the Manifattura di Domodossola products was highlighted at Lineapelle also through the collaboration with Nalesso, excellence brand in the interior furnishings field: a sinuous system of seats covered in leather weaves conveys to the world the sartorial mastery made in Italy.
