Each fragrance is therefore born in La Morra, in the province of Alba, before being produced in a small workshop near Milan.

AMY GLENN A147G
A monochromatic palate, the beauty in all shades of black and grays, the dusty mystery of no color, of muted tones. Black is protection, sophistication, freedom, strength, attentiveness to simplicity.

Each piece created by hand, one at a time.
ANN DEMEULEMEESTER
In 1985 Belgian fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester founded her own fashion label by the same name together with her photographer husband Patrick Robyn. Already at her first fashion show in Paris in 1992, she was noted for her minimalist and androgynous style, which was particularly avant-garde for the time. Ann Demeulemeester's designs are often characterised by a dark, poetic and rebellious aesthetic, realised through haute couture, fine craftsmanship and a determined deconstruction of classic and conventional garments. The choice of colours for his collections is more often than not monochromatic (white but mainly black) while that of fabrics expresses a targeted search for the finest fibres.
Ann Demeulemeester's conceptual and introspective approach runs counter to the fashion system, but it is precisely this that makes her stand out. For example, the choice of increasingly blending or juxtaposing male and female details gradually contributes to resizing gender differences in the fashion world. Freedom, individuality, androgyny become Demeulemeester's stylistic signature. What's more, her unequivocal talent for creating minimalist yet profoundly emotional clothes will make her one of the world's most influential and popular avant-garde designers.
In 2013, Ann Demeulemeester unexpectedly relinquished the leadership of her brand, choosing to devote herself to other artistic forms. In 2014, Sebastien Meunier became the brand's new creative director, adopting a more commercial and less conceptual approach than Demeulemeester. In 2020, the brand is acquired by Antonioli Group, which continues to respect its brilliant past, propelling Ann Demeulemeester among the high-end luxury design brands.

PANTOFOLA D'ORO
Pantofola d’Oro is a historic Italian brand of sports and leisure footwear. Its roots date back to 1886, in a shoemaker's workshop in Ascoli Piceno, in the Marche region. In the 1950s, the family business was passed on to his son Emidio. Emidio was not only a shoemaker but also an athlete, practicing wrestling in his spare time. It was during training and matches that he realized how inadequate the boots he was wearing were for moving around the ring. So he decided to create his own ideal wrestling shoes: soft, ergonomic, comfortable, non-slip, and made of calfskin. Other wrestlers soon noticed them, becoming his first and (already) loyal customers. Meanwhile, a footballer friend of his confided in him that the football boots in use at the time were extremely uncomfortable for running, dribbling, and kicking a ball on a football pitch. Emidio realized that his invention could prove useful not only for wrestlers but also for soccer players. Soon after, he was commissioned to handcraft custom soccer cleats for the entire Ascoli team. Master shoemaker Lazzarini's boots would be worn by champions such as Garrincha, Altafini, Bergomi, Boniperti, Capello, Di Canio, Falcao, Klinsmann, Mancini, Mazzola, Riva, Rivera, Sivori, Van Basten, Zoff... The name Pantofola d'Oro (Golden Slipper) comes from an exclamation by John Charles, Juventus's striker in the 1950s, who compared Lazzarini's boots to "slippers" because they were so soft and comfortable. From there, it was a short step to the "golden" meaning, given the exceptional quality of the footwear. Pantofola d’Oro has never stopped producing football boots, but over time it has expanded its production to include rugby shoes and, finally, casual footwear, remaining faithful to its artisanal tradition, its high and memorable quality standards, its attention to detail, and its unparalleled wearable comfort.

In 1830 he opened a small woolen mill in Little Plum Run, Pennsylvania, to sell socks and blankets to local workers and families. He increased production by also supplying American troops with clothing and blankets, from the Civil War to the Second World War. However, already starting from the second half of the 19th century, Woolrich had begun to diversify its offer, focusing increasingly on leisure clothing.
Woolrich's first original product was the flannel shirt with large red and black checks, the iconic Buffalo Check shirt (1850). In the 1970s it produced another key garment in its history, the Arctic Parka, with which it equipped the workers involved in the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The Mountain Jacket was created in 1979, the outerwear designed for hikers, outdoor enthusiasts and mountain sports lovers. These garments have crossed borders, socio-cultural transformations, fashions without losing their distinctive features while constantly evolving. Woolrich's signature design was and remains discreet, durable, coherent and functional.
At the basis of such a long and important history are the fundamental values of the brand: progress, love of travel, community, positive approach to life and social responsibility. Since its origins, Woolrich has reflected the American dream: achieving one's goals despite adversity, to always be seized and interpreted as opportunities.
