Tramontano

Italian leather goods label. Since 1865, in its historic offices in Naples, Tramontano has designed and produced for generations: bags, luggage and accessories in leather, in keeping with the techniques of the finest Neapolitan crafts tradition. Tramontano leather is tanned with natural methods. The workshops also make custom items. It has a “bridgehead” in Milan, in the courtyard of Palazzo Borromeo, in Via Manzoni 41. One of its most attractive items is the T-“bag, designed by the American designer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, in a limited, numbered edition (750 items). It is reminiscent of the little trunks used in the stagecoach era, made of leather and canvas with bamboo laths and visible pockets. The Fall-Winter 2003-2004 Collection, with its vaguely retro flavor, takes us back to the 1960s-1970s: handmade bags, suitcases, and studded handbags, made of leather and bamboo or with inlays of ponyskin, models taken from the historic archives with large ring handles, and the more modern organizer bags or the shopping bags shaped like haversacks, super equipped with handy accessories, nécessaires and internal pockets. The winter versions of the summer bags are made of wool and leather or ponyskin and leather the backpacks are light and very soft. The Fiordo line, totally white, is made with an exclusive waterproof Scandinavian leather: tanned by an age-old method that makes it resistant to wear and again, that was used by Nordic fishermen. For men, light travel bags with wheels, or unlined so that it can be rolled up, with a snap-hook fastening for yachtsmen.
