MY FAMILY IS MY FIRST SCHOOL
Since I was young, I have been attracted by drawing, design And also trying to personalize my own clothes and accessories.
I didn't have any psychological obstacle to do that, you know, sometimes to express yourself in different or strange ways trying to be creative,..., creation by itself is something unusual,..., It could be seen as abnormal behavior.
In fact, I've had the chance to grow in creative family. My mother was a skilled seamstress, she devoted her life at least 30 years to the details, to each stitch she did, to each color she chose. She made a handmade happiness by making clothes for herself and for the others. she was very meticulous person.
My father was a shoes maker. From his early days as handwelt shoes maker to an industrial shoes manufacturer since 1967.
At home it was very common to find needles and threads in a different types: for garments materials for leather fabric,...,etc; or to listen discussions about "how to sew this or that fabric" during breakfast. Yes, home was for me the first place as a child to hear about fashion, about garments manufacturing. My family is my first fashion school, whom has know-how of more than 70 years.
QUALITY, HERE EVERYTHING STARTS
Our experience is the result of a continuous quality enhancement. we are in the industry for more than 12 years. The quality is the standard number one for us, it starts from the idea to the final product.
We are not one of those who think that everything is fashionable, not every trend or idea is good to be transformed into fashion. We care about our customers in every step to choose the right theme. The ideas we develop are only those we believe to match with our customers expectations.
Concerning the materials we use. At Vittorio Condotti, generally we choose organic fabric, cotton, wool, leather,...,etc.
Sometimes the use of artificial fibers such as spandex, Lycra, nylon or polyester is necessary to achieve sustainability, comfort or usability levels unachievable with natural fibers.
MANUFACTURE: WE DON'T HAVE A BOSS, QUALITY IS OUR BOSS.
From the beginning, we had in mind the idea to assemble all the manufacturing processes IN HOUSE to keep an eye on the quality in each step of the manufacturing lines.
Around 70 people work in the production line, they are skilled workers as artists. the garment is passed from hand to hand until we get the final product.
We have no limit for quality manufacturing, most of production steps are performed by our workers on their machines, Even we use machinery, the quality is King.
We don't have a boss, each worker is free to upgrade the level of quality even sometimes to enhance the making tasks to reach higher quality levels. The quality is our boss.
