ABOUT THE MAKER

Loretta Caponi

Stepping into Loretta Caponi’s bottega in Florence feels like opening a trousseau from another time. The shelves are lined with intricately embroidered linens for the bed and table, along with delicate nightclothes for women and children. These are heirloom-quality pieces, designed to be treasured and passed down, brought out for holidays and cherished family moments.

The bottega’s embroidery is deeply rooted in Florentine tradition. Its founder, Loretta Caponi, began hand-embroidering at the age of nine and was creating bespoke nightgowns and lingerie for discerning clients by 14. In 1967, she opened her atelier in a former piano warehouse on Via delle Belle Donne, where it remains today, filled with antiques collected by the family over decades.
