Raffaele Rescigno

Accademia Costume & Moda

Fashion Design BFA

Accessories, Bags, Footwear

I am Raffaele Rescigno I am 22 years old and originally from Lanzara a small town in Campania. This is where my story began, surrounded by people who have made this profession their life. Since childhood I have had a strong interest in art and fashion. I have always loved experimenting by designing and always creating something new. I am a willing, honest guy with a strong spirit of initiative who likes to deal with new and challenging situations. In recent years I have dedicated myself to the academy, which has allowed me to learn about the world of accessories, a new world for me, where you can give vent to creativity but remaining tied to the concept of tradition, a concept for me fundamental to the development of all my work. In addition, I have been involved in volunteer work in the past, the latter of which has allowed me to adapt with ease to new environments, people and situations.

Make Yourself at Home

Category: Accessories

Competitions: International

"Make Yourself at Home," is born from the essence of nostalgia and the desire to evoke a sense of familiarity wherever you go. This exquisite bag is the embodiment of the cozy ambiance found within the walls of a grandmother's vintage-filled home, reminiscent of the photographs captured by Brooke DiDonato. I sought to infuse every aspect of this bag with the essence of feeling at home. The bag is made of cowhide, chosen for its durability and timeless elegance. The supple texture invites touch, while the color palette evokes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The silhouette and structure of the bag pay homage to the sentimental memories we associate with the comforting embrace of home. Just as a house is cosy, providing a sanctuary for the soul, "Make Yourself at Home" is designed to hold your essentials securely, ensuring you carry a piece of home with you wherever you wander. Drawing inspiration from the vintage charm found in every nook and cranny of a grandmother's house, the bag boasts elegant accents, such as fun charms and delicate stitching. The interior is thoughtfully organized, with spacious compartments to accommodate your belongings, mirroring the well-curated and cherished elements found within a lovingly maintained home. "Make Yourself at Home" represents the power of design to evoke emotions and create a tangible connection between individuals and their cherished memories. As you grasp the leather handles, you will be transported to a place of cherished memories, a haven where the past and present intertwine harmoniously. May this bag be a source of comfort, elegance, and timeless inspiration, reminding us all that home is never too far away.
