Gold and silver brushstrokes across black calf leather - applied by hand in an Empoli workshop where every bag is painted once and never repeated. Daniele Basta named this piece after Gustav Klimt, and the reference is earned. Across the lower face of the bag, gestural strokes of 24-karat gold and silver-white pigment spatter and sweep over the surface in patterns that cannot be replicated. Each MAZI KLIMT leaves the workshop as a one-off. The paint is applied directly to vegetable-tanned calf leather - firm under the hand, with a semi-glossy finish that catches light in soft, shifting pools between the metallic accents. The form is minimal: a belt bag that converts to crossbody, sized to carry essentials without bulk. Two hand-formed 925 sterling silver ring pulls anchor the zipper - cold to the touch, weighted enough that you feel them when you reach for the closure. The cotton lining inside is clean and unadorned, a deliberate contrast to the expressionist exterior. Basta builds every piece alone, start to finish, working vegetable-tanned hides sourced from food-industry waste through a process that takes roughly ten working days per item. The metallic paint is the final gesture - the moment the bag becomes singular.
