The Show must go on!
Milan shines the spotlight on the American Alligator.
Tardini pays homage to perfection with its accessories in an evening dedicated to craftsmanship.
On 28 September, the magnificent Presidential Suite in the Hotel Principe di Savoia hosted an event by Richard Mille. Tardini and other luxury brands including Antico Setificio Fiorentino, Sartoria Caraceni, Coltellerie Berti, Fratelli Branca Distillerie, Davidoff Cigars and Almini footwear illustrated the meaning of elegance, excellence and aesthetic through their products.
Over the course of the evening, the master artisans assembled and completed some items from their collections.
The result was a true work of art from craftsmanship requiring centuries of tradition and hours upon hours of hard work, which may even amount to months, to achieve an increasingly more exquisite and unique product.
The care is maniacal, the attention to detail superb, the quality sublime. Evaluators and gentlemen admired exclusive watches, finely-crafted fabrics and skins and breath-taking accessories, while sampling small pastries accompanied by excellent fizz and good music.
“Unique consumer goods, those that merely by looking at them, wearing them, touching them, smelling them do they move you, and impart upon you a profound sense of qualitative fulfilment and extreme beauty,” said Frank Botrè, editor and director of Arbiter and Spirito diVino, architect behind the union of the luxury brands in attendance, and close friend of Giuseppe Tardini.

MEN’S ROYAL TIGER SMARTNESS TRAVELLER
ACCORDION WALLET WITH TWO COMPARTMENTS IN GLOSSY OR SATIN-FINISH AMERICAN ALLIGATOR. MEDIUM-SIZE PRECIOUS CENTRAL DIAMANTE TIGER DECORATION.
Precious and modern two-compartment large wallet in glossy or satin-finish American Alligator. Characterised by the prominent longitudinal ‘ridge’, glossy and silky and perfect in its construction and simplicity, it fully exhibits the ability of Italian craftsmanship.
The exterior is further enriched with the wonderful medium-sized diamante tiger decoration, enamelled within the ribbed spaces, plated in gold or palladium, and finally to represent the pride and nobility of the animal’s gaze, a natural ruby is set into the eye.
The interior is lined with calfskin in Tardini green, in a calm contrast derived from England; and its original use is also taken from England, as it was originally used as a travel wallet, to separate different currencies, receipts and documents. Today it as a more everyday use, and this subdivision is much appreciated.

MEN’S ROYAL TIGER CONTEMPORARY BAG
MEDIUM-SIZE ZIPPERED BAG IN SATIN-FINISH AMERICAN ALLIGATOR. MEDIUM-SIZE, DIAMANTE TIGER CENTRAL DECORATION.
Opulence and precision are terms that do not always go together; but in this case they describe the extraordinary union of this modern bag’s features. It is a successor of the classic briefcase, made from satin-finish American alligator with a silky, soft sheen.
Precious details such as small rings or the central diamante tiger decoration (a technique derived from jewellery and with which we wanted to recreate a fur effect), enamelled and with a ruby set into the eye to emphasise the noble and proud gaze of this animal, are distinctive signals of this line, which is not surprisingly called Royal Tiger. The deep dual slider zipper conceals a soft and light green alcantara lining in Tardini green with flat side pockets and one pocket at the bottom.
