After a random and virtuous meeting in a local Treviso market, the Romanelli Family and Talking Hands collaboration began. The Romanelli Family are hoteliers who run Novecento, Hotel Flora, and Casa Flora. The two organisations have shared values of sustainability, diversity, inclusion, quality craftsmanship and tradition. These values formed the basis of our capsule collection which comprises custom-made kimonos, shawls, clutches and bags. The kimonos are used as bathrobes by guests of Romanelli hotels and the accessories are exhibited and sold in their lobbies. Exposing guests to the high quality and transcultural tailoring helps raise awareness of refugee potential.
