Intarsia: The Technique That Denotes Excellence
A showcase of the meticulous process and skill behind the intarsia technique for which we are famed.
Crafting Milanese excellence since 1937, Valextra is renowned for its mastery of the intricate and refined art of intarsia – a technique that demands both vision and precision.
A PATIENT PROCESS
Valextra’s skill in intarsia is spotlighted with a curated edit of Iside handbags that showcases the highest levels of excellence required to complete every handbag.
Crafting Milanese excellence since 1937, Valextra is renowned for its mastery of the intricate and refined art of intarsia – a technique that demands both vision and precision. Each handbag is a testament to the hands of our artisans, whose dedication follows a patient process rooted in heritage and sensibility. Valextra’s multidimensional leathers are cut into precise patterns, which are then placed side by side and stitched together in geometric harmony, embodying our enduring pursuit of perfection.
EXQUISITE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
The level of attention to detail is exquisite as the colour of yarn is adapted to mirror the shade of leather to appear invisible. The apparently seamless finish is smooth to the hand, a testament to the mastery and precision in process.
From figurative scenes to directional patterns, Valextra consistently pushes the boundaries of what intarsia can realise on our luxury leather goods, realising innovative, geometric, and abstract designs with thoughtfully placed patterns and refined placements that are mesmerising to behold.
THE LINES OF MILANO
Valextra is forever inspired by the world-renowned architecture of Milan. From the Liberty to Brutalist eras, the undulating curves and striking corners that characterise the city are no better realised than in The Intarsia Project that presents a collection of handbags that captures its most alluring of design juxtapositions.
