I'm the creative director, lead designer and marketing director at Mozzafiati. Our goal is to create "The World's Most Beautiful Eco-Friendly Bags" for women and men. We launched Mozzafiati a few years ago due to seeing that there was a gap in the market for real handmade luxury leather bags that also took the environment into consideration. We pride ourselves in producing luxury goods that are rooted in sustainability that are beautifully designed pieces of art.
