He is joined by a small team of artisans who have honed their skills starting as apprentices in the AR workshops. Items are designed with the you, the user, in mind and 100% hand crafted using the best materials in the world and with  skills and expertise of centuries old European traditions. Your made-to-order item which will be such a pleasure to own, to behold, and to handle that it will bring a smile to your face every time you see it and use it.

what we do

we create your desire

ALDO ROSSI designs and produces all our products in our Topanga California workshop. Although we're building an inventory of items ready to ship (see In Stock Items) most of our items are made after we receive your order. The upside of this means that it is very easy for us to customize our items. Simple customizations such as a different thread color...are generally free; more involved customizations may incur some cost... Listed on each product page are some customization options and we really encourage making use of the email link on the product pages to discuss any ideas you may have

FOUNDER / ARTISAN

ALDO ROSSI

A world renown fashion photographer for most of his life Aldo began working with leather to replace a triple wrap bracelet which he had worn daily for well over eight years… Guided by a boot maker friend, he decided to make his own… What he expected to be a day long project has turned into a new passion for designing and creating sturdy and timeless items meant to be passed from generation to generation… Born in Florida and raised in Paris where beauty and harmony are experienced in even the most subtle things Aldo gained an appreciation for handmade goods and an admiration for those who craft them. Acquainted at an early age with French saddle makers and small leather goods makers, Aldo experienced first hand that a masterfully crafted item is not only an object of harmonious visual beautyit must also feel perfect to the touch while remaining true to its function.
