PAOLA GRAGLIA
What is behind a name.
Handbags as art form: this is Paola Graglia’s
philosophy.
Paola Graglia creations, wearable jewel handbags,
have been adorned with refined accessories that can
be matched or worn separately according to today’s
fashion.
Paola Graglia, 38 years old from Turin, Italy, has
been working for twenty years as well-known art
dealer, antique dealer and design expert. Her lively
and modern approach to fashion comes forth from a
sensibility developed in the most important European
art cities.
Being a consolidated point of reference for collectors,
Paola Graglia intends to create a new trend in
fashion, able to integrate elegance and innovation
without neglecting traditional values.
Paola Graglia jewel bags are created by the skillful
work of the best Italian craftsmanship – leather
workers and jewelers – and make all Paola Graglia’s
products fully “Made in Italy”.
Close attention to details and a never flaunted inborn
elegance, are the features of Paola Graglia jewel
bags: a collection that does not follow seasonal
trends but offers “objects d’art”, unaffected by the
passing of time.
Passion, study and research are Paola Graglia’s
daily companions in an effort to identify less-known
precious materials, rare exquisite leathers and noble
metals for her creations.
