CRAFTED SOCIETY
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
Cashmere scarves woven by family-run Lanificio Arca; hats from fourth-generation milliner Sorbatti; heritage shoe factory Mirage Calzature’s low-top sneakers. While many high-end fashion houses keep their manufacturing partners a closely guarded secret, Crafted Society’s Luxury for Good approach to its Italian-produced accessories has a shout-it-from-the-rooftops level of transparency. Husband-and-wife duo Lise Bonnet and Martin Johnston not only co-brand each piece with the maker’s name, they also list every label online and donate one per cent of annual turnover to non-profit organisations that educate disadvantaged children.
