Mon Chat Noir Bags

From the important collaboration with Mon Chat Noir, the IBIS handbag was created. A true masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship, featuring precious fabrics, velvets, and brocades as its defining elements of absolute elegance. Masterful execution and refined design make it a jewelry-like high fashion accessory.

The handwoven velvets and brocades of the Fondazione Arte della Seta Lisio were selected for the creation of true jewels: the IBIS handbags.

Mon Chat Noir is on the market with the search for products with an innovative design. Mon chat noir was born from the collaboration of two designers: Stefania and Alessio. Their decades of experience in the sector has made this brand appreciated for the marked personality of its products with an exclusive design: the choice of top quality materials, the sartorial hand for the textile and the extreme craftsmanship, make the OttoOtto handbag a real handmade masterpiece, made in Italy.

"Ghirigori" Velvet HandWeaving for IBIS Bag

We weave our fabrics only on late 19th-century hand-operated Jacquard looms. The weaver’s hand is fundamental to fabric creation: punctilious attention to design, selection of the precious yarns and precise workmanship are the elements that set our manufactory apart and make all our products exclusive examples of artisan excellence.

Weaving velvet by hand calls for meticulous attention and great skill by the weaver; on the average, a velvet weaver can produce 20-25 centimetres of fabric per day.

The handbags, branded “OTTOOTTO”, are an example of what is defined as “constructive quality.”

They are inspired by the desire to create something timeless, capable of expressing the passion of Florentine artisans in the making of these objects, while remaining contemporary.

The materials are of high quality: hand-inlaid wood, resins engraved with ebony or mother-of-pearl inlays, or handwoven velvet. The use of hard or precious stones makes these bags suitable for those who value uniqueness and elegance.

The possibility of customization makes their products even more special and unique. They enhance Italian artisanal tradition while simultaneously seeking to keep it current. “We do not create fashion, we create details for your style.” This is the brand’s vision.

Fashions fade, but what is elegant is eternal.
