Francesca Castagnacci was born in Florence. During her years of training, she lived and studied in Tuscany, an area rich in art that would leave an indelible mark on her life. Her love for Italy and the land of her birth did not stop her from travelling. From Ireland to Russia, in search of new sources of inspiration, culture and different worlds with which to compare.
Enriched by the experience, Francesca Castagnacci indulged her artistic vein looking towards the world of fashion, driven early on by important awards and recognition: winning Ferragamo’s scholarship for Polimoda Master and then the selection and winning in other international award. Her visionary drawings are transformed into bags and shoes, dreamlike and evocative, but at the same time daring and innovative. The philosophy and the research of her creations are transmitted in a style that enchants and convinces.
The growing inspiration and the desire to put herself to test, drove her to put together a collection that would represent her to the world. A challenge that soon turns into a goal: Francesca’s creations quickly catch the attention of whoever is in search of unique, transgressive yet sophisticated pieces.
The meeting of Francesca with different realities in the field of applied research and industry has favored the interest from a major investment fund that allowed in 2014 to give birth to a new major project with the official birth of Francesca Castagnacci srl.
The project involves skills of Made in Italy that allow complete freedom of expression with full customization possibilities in the design of metal accessories and special processing that bring the final product at the apex of quality and innovation.
The project has a long term vision and ability to maintain a constant level of quality and variety in the proposal of the brand.
