CONCEPT Raising the uniqueness and the geometric strength of the beautiful details of Italian architecture in the Renaissance era, the Character Collection arises.

A sophisticated and refined collection with a touch of opulence translated into elaborate embroidery and application of lurex threads of gold, silver and copper that brings us to the spatial and decorative grandeur of the churches and halls of the early seventeenth century.

Character also symbolizes the symbiosis of the detailed geometric designs of the elaborate pavements of the great Italian squares, distinguishing in a subtle and luxurious way motifs and micro motifs.

Character transmits sobriety, elegance, strength and opulence implemented in the Renaissance period.
