Coming from an Empoli family of leather artisans, Daniele Basta was born in 1979 into a world of leather. Working in fashion from his early 20's before in 2010 launching his eponymous label on the idea that fashion should be approached as art, each object created by hand, personalised as if it was a work of art. Staying true to its aesthetics and brand ethos, the brand is evolving stylistically slowly and experimenting and craftsmanship stays in focus. Incorporating oxidised sterling stapling silver as signature creates interesting juxtapositions against the leathers and gives a raw luxury feel to the items.
