ABOUT US
Il Bussetto was founded in 2004 by Mauro Gobbi in Milano.
After many years spent in the leather trade and in the production of leather goods, he was attracted by a unique and special Italian leather craft technique.
This distinctive method allows the production of small leather goods moulded on wooden modes and devoid of any seams. He was charmed by these styles that transmitted tradition and originality, while expressing high craftsmanship ability.
When it came to the practical realization of the project, Mauro had to confront the challenge of the lack of experienced and organized workshops and limited production capacity.
He saw real value in the considerable ability of Thai craftsmen in the production of small leather goods and established a collaboration with Thai artisans. After a long run-in phase, the project took off and now our skilled craftsmen work full time on the production of Il Bussetto in Thailand.
"THE BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT RANGE OF IL BUSSETTO TODAY IS THE RESULT OF THE VISION OF ITS FOUNDER, IT REFLECTS HIS PAINSTAKING EFFORTS TO REACH THE HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARDS, SO EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER CAN BE SURE TO CARRY WITH THEM SOMETHING UNIQUE AND PRECIOUS."
Even though the production capacity has increased over the years, this is still a niche product, that needs care and craftsmanship, requiring long lead times that are not suitable for mass production.
Bearing these product characteristics in mind, the selection of retailers has concentrated on shops with a clear and identifiable focus on original, hand crafted products. This has allowed many fruitful relationships, reaching consumers attracted by the idea of carrying unique, handmade products.
