A world renown fashion photographer for most of his life Aldo began working with leather to replace a triple wrap bracelet which he had worn daily for well over eight years… Guided by a boot maker friend, he decided to make his own… What he expected to be a day long project has turned into a new passion for designing and creating sturdy and timeless items meant to be passed from generation to generation… Born in Florida and raised in Paris where beauty and harmony are experienced in even the most subtle things Aldo gained an appreciation for handmade goods and an admiration for those who craft them. Acquainted at an early age with French saddle makers and small leather goods makers, Aldo experienced first hand that a masterfully crafted item is not only an object of harmonious visual beautyit must also feel perfect to the touch while remaining true to its function.
