Caponi

Loretta. An embroiderer since the age of 9, she opened in Florence, between the two world wars, a workshop which still carries her name and manufactures women’s underwear and trousseaus that are noteworthy for their precious hand-made embroidery. Loretta still works together with her daughter Lucia and other expert embroiderers in her atelier on Piazza Antinori. She tells how she has always been inspired by her clients, the environment they live in, art, and nature. She has always been faithful to the traditional artisanal techniques of her trade. She owns a Collection of embroidery, both detached pieces and pieces that have been applied to clothing, from 1500 to today.
