The fortunes of little-known Milanese accessories house Zagliani were transformed when former dermatologist Mauro Orietti-Carella joined the company and began to experiment with anti-ageing techniques on reptile skins. The result of his silicone and resin injections into python and crocodile hides is a super-soft, tactile quality that makes the house’s bags unique. Zagliani works with reptile skins in an ethical and responsible way so that environmental effects are minimal. Classic shapes and vibrant colours also help make Zagliani bags modern must-have arm candy.
