The brand Marina Fossati is the story of three women, combining their artistic genius and playfulness to establish one of Milano’s most endearing design hubs. What was first established as a workshop, at 15 Via Gesu, has since become a Milanese salon showcasing the brand’s colorful designs, including jewelry, handbags, headbands and other accessories. This hub still exudes the artisan charm of its founder, Marina Fossati, whose sense of design was shaped by her father, a carpenter at the Teatro alla Scala in Milano. Even though the brand has expanded internationally, it continues producing in the artisanal manner of its beginnings. Each item is handmade in Italy using a variety of materials such as crystals, resin, pearls, metal and coloured stones.
