The Elegance Of The Renaissance Will Never Go Out Of Style

27/07/2023

In the recent summer auction season, the most eye-catching painting was from the Italian Renaissance period, with stubborn religious tones. Fra Angelico's "The Passion" sold for over £5 million (approximately $6.4 million) to an anonymous buyer at Christie's auction house on July 6, setting a new auction record.

 

The Bridge, which originated from the Renaissance city of Florence, is an Italian leather goods brand with nearly 50 years of history. Although its history is not particularly long compared to other brands, it has a high profile on the streets of Italy and has a very good reputation throughout Europe.

In 1969, II Ponte Pelletteria SpA, formed by five leatherworking families, was established in the small town of Scandicci near Florence. In the early days, they started with producing unique leather bags and accessories, and each of these products from the workshop represents the perfect combination of high-quality materials and unique craftsmanship. The five designers use their years of experience and creativity to design leather goods, insisting on using the traditional tanning process of "Florentine tanning" to produce all leather goods, in order to maintain the characteristics of thinness, toughness, and softness.

 

Although The Bridge is niche, its products are classic, elegant, fashionable, and durable. It embodies the value of "Made in Italy" with the unique craftsmanship of Florence workshops, and cleverly combines the aesthetic taste of "British" to create a unique "Anglo-Tuscan" style.
