About
Amy Gambacorta founded Officina Gambacorta in 2022 after moving to Florence, (Tuscany) Italy, and then later relocated to Castiglioncello, (Tuscany) Italy.
Amy has spent the past 20 years of her life working as a fashion designer, living and traveling around the world and usually can be spotted wearing her signature leather jacket wherever she goes...
Amy has always been intrigued by leather jackets -- particularly vintage ones -- for the stories they tell and the memories they carry on. It's an immediate visual language when you see someone wearing a really unique worn-in leather jacket. It's an instant story or memory from their life...a conversation piece...a statement piece...a wonderment invoking curiosity...
Amy believes that quality leather jackets not only should last forever to tell a story, but that good leather jackets should also be considered investment pieces...works of art...collector's items...family heirlooms that can be kept and passed down to future generations to tell a story and to keep those memories alive. Like a diamond ring, a custom leather jacket is something you should cherish and wear, every day, forever....one (good one) is enough and should last you a lifetime. It's about QUALITY pieces, not quantity.
Thus the idea for Officina Gambacorta was born. Amy feels there is too much fast fashion, in-stock items, and even high fashion items that everyone has access to, that are mass produced, and definitely not one-of-kinds. Amy designs only custom, one-of-kind leather jackets, designed in collaboration with you (the customer) so that there will never be another duplicate made.
Each jacket is hand made in Tuscany, Italy, with the utmost attention to quality and detail. We take our time designing and creating each bespoke piece. And like the famous quote from Hermès says: "Things of quality take time."
Your jacket will be unique to you only and not for sale to anyone else...a pretty cool concept, right?
