THE ATELIERS

Made in Italy, by people we know by name.

Every Victoria Slavinskaia piece is made in Italy. We chose only small, independent ateliers that we know personally. Each atelier is a specialist in a single craft, in the part of Italy where it has been practiced for generations. We do not work with one big factory. We work closely with the people who make our pieces, from the first sample to the finished piece. Every piece is checked for defects after production. Our clothes are made in Campania and Emilia-Romagna, the jackets are made in Veneto, the hats are made in Tuscany and Marche and the packaging is made in Puglia.

READY TO WEAR

Our silk and leather pieces are made by two independent ateliers in Italy. One is in the south, and one is in the north.
Our partner in southern Italy, in Campania, is a family-run company that was founded by tailors in 1960. They still keep this tradition today: the same team that makes the pattern and the first sample also sews the final clothes.
Our partner in northern Italy, in Emilia-Romagna, is an atelier that has made high-end clothes since 1980.
Our shearling jackets are made in Veneto by an atelier that has worked with shearling since 1973. They still cut and sew the skins mostly by hand, with tools that people used fifty years ago.
Each atelier we work with does what it does best.

HEADWEAR

Hats have been part of Victoria Slavinskaia from the beginning.
Our first prototypes were made in Tuscany with the famous local artisan Signora Graziella. She has more than forty years of experience and has made samples for well-known fashion houses in Italy, France and Britain. She was the first person to turn Victoria's drawings into real pieces, and we still make many of our prototypes with her today.
Our hats are made by an Italian manufacturer from Marche. They have been experts in knitwear and millinery for more than fifty years, and they still keep the tradition of combining the hand of the artisan with machines.

PACKAGING

Our silk hat care bags, signature clutch bags and tote bags is made in Puglia by an Italian company founded in 1974 that has worked exclusively for the textile and fashion industry ever since.
