THE COMPANY

Founded in 1865 in Naples, Tramontano embodies the art of Italian leather goods. We combine artisanal tradition with innovation to create unique bags and accessories, where every detail tells a story of passion and craftsmanship.

THE ART OF CREATING EXCELLENCE

Over the years, Tramontano has consolidated the historic Italian tradition of artisan leather goods, creating an archive of over 600 models that still represent the soul and inspiration of its collections today.

DESIGN AND PLANNING

The collections are created within the company, in a perfect blend of the latest fashion trends and the history of Tramontano style. A contemporary mood that never forgets its "made in Naples" roots.

RESEARCH AND SELECTION OF MATERIALS

The leathers and fabrics used in Tramontano productions are carefully selected and purchased in Italy, to always ensure the highest quality of the products.

HANDCRAFTED

“Hand-made” stitching, woven leather, brass fastenings and details, stone embellishments, and horn and bamboo accessories are the hallmarks of Tramontano creations, crafted in-house by skilled artisan hands.

THE STORY

From the beating heart of Naples, Tramontano was born in 1865, when a small fabric and passementerie shop transformed into an art workshop thanks to the vision and creativity of generations of artisans. Today, our brand is synonymous with timeless elegance and understated luxury, the result of a perfect marriage between ancient techniques and modern innovations.

Every creation is the fruit of meticulous research into materials and an obsessive attention to detail, elements that give each piece an unmistakable personality. Our mission is to offer accessories that not only enhance style, but become true life companions, capable of telling their own story through tradition and innovation.

FOUNDATION IN NAPLES

1865

The Tramontano story begins in Naples. Francesco Tramontano opened a shop for fabrics and trimmings in the city's historic center, thus establishing his historic roots in Neapolitan manufacturing history, known for its craftsmanship and the quality of its products.

EVOLUTION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

1950

With the arrival of Aldo Tramontano, son of Francesco, in the workshop, activities related to leatherworking for exclusive accessories and leather goods began to develop. During this period, some of the models that would later become “icons” for the brand were created; these are kept in the historical archive and are still featured in the collection today, appreciated by customers, such as the “Arrotolata” canvas bag, the Nisida clutch with its precious jewel handle, and the “Dalla” professional bag.

CELEBRITIES

1990-2000

A long line of international artists and celebrities, visiting Naples, discover the high-quality artisanal leather goods and exclusive style of Tramontano products, often requested in personalized versions. Among many others, Woody Allen, while visiting the Tramontano store at Palazzo Cellammare, ordered a custom leather case for his clarinet.

International excellence

Today

In 2017, the brand was acquired by the Adler Group, a company controlled by the Scudieri family, which has always maintained a commitment to the quality and authenticity of Tramontano products. Today, the creative and organizational management is entrusted to Milena Scudieri, who is dedicated to revaluing the heritage and values that have always characterized the brand in a modern key. The Maison's creations are present in the world's greatest cities in select boutiques and luxurious department stores. In Italy, Tramontano collections are available at Rinascente in Rome and Milan.

The new logo

The graphic design of the Tramontano logo is once again a symbol of art, creativity, and tradition. It is the representation of two marine animals, the dugongs, large, mysterious, and rare mammals, which have always been linked to the historical myth of mermaids as symbols of enchantment, history, and charm.

Today, the logo is revisited in a modern key to reflect the brand's new values while keeping an eye on its origins, and it is depicted with softer, more defined lines, making it more versatile, recognizable, and contemporary in appearance to evoke vitality, lightness, and elegance.
