Once upon a time

theEssence

The history of Atelier Gallia e Peter is a centuries-old story that never repeats itself. "A tradition based on the uniqueness of the hat made with a manual production process at the service of the customer and respectful of his personality and style: this is the value of being a craftsman," as Laura Marelli, the last heir of Atelier Gallia e Peter, tells us. The craftsman as a creator of objects who does not impose his taste, but gives form and concreteness to the desire of the people in front of him, drawing from his work an intimate, deep satisfaction.

A savoir-faire focused on the pleasure of making custom-made garments with a multi-sensory approach resulting from the synergy of eye and hand.

The gaze as a continuous form of learning that oversees and transmits gestures to touch to investigate the potential of materials; listening as a lever to weave lasting relationships; the sense of smell as a guide to maintain and rediscover through smells skills and abilities at the origins of the brand. A memory of hands that connects the four generations of Gallia e Peter women.
