## The Origin

A legacy born from a singular vision

Our original workshop in Florence, 1987

> "In an age of mass production, we chose to walk a different path. Every stitch, every grain, every detail—crafted by hands that understand the weight of tradition."

> Elena Meridian Founder, 1987

What began in a small Florentine workshop has grown into a global collective of artisans united by a singular purpose: to preserve the art of handcraftsmanship while creating pieces that transcend time.

Our name, Meridian, speaks to our position—the line where heritage meets innovation, where tradition intersects with contemporary design. We stand at this crossroads, honoring the past while crafting the future.

## Our Philosophy

The principles that guide every creation

Sustainable Sourcing

Every material we use is ethically sourced and environmentally conscious. From vegetable-tanned leathers to responsibly harvested woods, sustainability isn't an afterthought—it's foundational.

We maintain direct relationships with our suppliers, visiting farms and forests to ensure practices align with our values.

Master Craftsmanship

Our artisans undergo years of apprenticeship before they craft a single piece bearing the Meridian name. We believe mastery takes time—there are no shortcuts to excellence.

Each artisan brings generations of knowledge to their work, blending time-honored techniques with subtle modern innovations.

Timeless Design

Trends fade. Quality endures. We design pieces meant to be passed down through generations, growing more beautiful with age and use.

Our aesthetic philosophy embraces understated elegance—designs that feel current today and will remain relevant for decades to come.

Artisan Community

We don't just employ artisans—we support families, preserve traditions, and invest in communities. Fair wages, safe conditions, and creative freedom are non-negotiable.

A portion of every sale funds our Artisan Apprenticeship Program, training the next generation of master craftspeople.
