HARRY AUSTIN was born from my rare and personal insight into the world of Italian luxury.
While living in Florence, Italy, I was lucky enough to discover that my neighbours were some of the master artisans behind Gucci, Prada, and Salvatore Ferragamo. As I studied design and soaked up the beauty (and pasta!) of Italian life, they generously took me under their wing, mentoring me, sharing their trade secrets, and guiding me through the intricacies of luxury craftsmanship.
They taught me how to source the finest materials, master timeless design principles, and understand what truly sets a luxury handbag apart. What I learned was simple: true quality doesn’t have to come with an inflated price tag. That belief sparked the creation of HARRY AUSTIN.
