One stitch at a time, one nail at a time, the light is dancing; exquisite skills, fingertip art, graceful arrival
Calmly, like a top-notch product, he calmly accepted the praise from the stunning eyes.
I have always insisted that exquisite craftsmanship is the most precious essence of a brand. When attending media events, I always browse new products and listen to introductions by staff. However, the Fendi Handmade Exhibition I attended last week left a deep impression. The Fendi brand originated in Italy has always been one of the representative brands of Romes glorious craftsmanship. The Pantheon (Pantheon) is the crystallization of the wisdom and hands of the ancients. The churches are full of sculptures and paintings, and the carved iron doors are elegant... But if Rome is a handmade fur, it must be made by Fendi... because this city The magic and craziness of "It has long been incorporated into the hands of its craftsmen every stitch..." The same is true for Fendis Pantheon handbag. At this event, I also experienced the work of Fendis craftsmen. Under the guidance of senior craftsmen, Completed a business card holder with Pantheon elements.
From cutting, punching, threading and sewing, to edge sealing and coloring, every step requires meticulousness and patience. Just this little green business card holder took two hours, not to mention how much effort it takes to complete a handbag. I really like this kind of experiential activities, which can help me understand the concept and essence of the brand more intuitively. It looks like a rough position, but the number and distance are actually calculated carefully. This shows how delicate a brand is.
Stitch by stitch, at the fingertips of craftsmen, beautiful inspirations are carved into objects that transcend time. These works, which carry nearly a hundred years of skills and painstaking efforts, are all euphemistically but firmly dedicated to owning it. People tell the spirit of hand-making, convey the art of fingertips, and interpret the reverence for tradition.
Fendi absorbs the profound connotation of Rome, and to this day, it still reveals the breath and soul of this city in every work. Lets start with the "Roman leather" exclusively developed by Xiuxin. This soft and rare leather, like a magician, makes every work "timeless", no matter it withstands rain, heat, or... Regardless of wear and tear or heavy pressure, it remains intact and looks like new. Therefore, it was once favored by royal families and nobles, and now it is the most precious choice of luxury leather.
The warmth and soul hidden in hand-made works are far more than just a piece of rare Roman leather, but also the untouchable fingertip art in mechanical reproduction, the ballet of stitches.
Every handmade work will have its own DNA in the end, and Fendi insists on using hand-finished nails in every step of the exclusive DNA created for everyone. A small screwdriver and tweezers are the final messengers of DNA. It relies on the skillful hands of the craftsmen to repair the excess leather stitching. The craftsmen need to carefully check every part of the work to ensure that there are zero threads in every corner of the work. Because for them, a neat and clean work without any threads can show the superior skills of the craftsmen.
Sewing technique is the step that best reflects the artistic value of the work. Every stitch and thread threading technique is passed down from generation to generation. Because of the strong toughness of Roman leather, Yin force must be used every time a needle passes through the leather. It should not be too heavy, so that the needle holes of the leather will appear thick. Fendi craftsmen, who have always pursued exquisite details, have completely inherited the manual skills of ancient Roman saddle-making masters, so the presentation of each work makes everyone deeply moved.I feel that machines can never replace manual work.
It is not easy to cut a piece of high-quality leather, especially Fendis Roman leather. Because of its strong toughness, you need to use skill to cut along the lines of the cortex when cutting. The basic skill of a craftsman is to practice cutting. A qualified craftsman needs to spend at least a year practicing cutting every day to find the balance point of hardness and softness; a perfect cutting must be done in one go without leaving any burrs. ; Just like a dancer should be clean without any trivial movements to complete a perfect dance.
In the process of hand-making works, the hammer is a versatile prop that craftsmen love, because the gentle tapping of the hammer can make the leather fit the pattern to prepare for the next step of making the bag shape; or Each small hole drilled in the work must also be struck with a hammer. The technique of hammering emphasizes speed, ruthlessness and accuracy. Craftsmen like to hear the sharp and crisp rhythm of hammering, just like dancers starting to dance to the variations.
Dyeing is to make the work "seamless". Because of the purely handmade work, the cut white edges will be exposed after the production is completed, so it is necessary to use waterproof and anti-drying dye glue to make the work complete. When dyeing, you are very particular about the concentration and thickness of the dye. Usually dyeing requires three steps: the first is simple coloring, the second is to make the color saturated, and the third is to superimpose the color. The concentration makes the handbag look more textured. If the dyeing is uneven, the final piece won't feel complete.
