Milan
I am in Milan all week working on Crane Brothers accessories and sourcing cloth.
I have been working with some companies for over ten years now so it is always a fun time catching up with these small Milanese family businesses.
Today I was at one Company we buy linings from and the current CEO is the seventh generation to work in the business.
They really respect their tradition, history and culture and make beautiful products.
