Jennifer Tattanelli

Born in Florence, Italy and raised in a bilingual home, Jennifer Tattanelli has
devoted her entire life to crafting and designing fashion, representing the voice of
a new generation of young, talented Florentine leather stylists.

From a young age, Jennifer was fascinated with her heritage, always researching
her great-grandfather, world-renowned pathologist Dr. James Ewing, and her
great-great uncle Samuel Clemens – also known as Mark Twain, the author of
American literary classics The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn.

Being a child model, she was always surrounded by fashion and quickly
developed her own personal style. Between her summers in the Hamptons with
her grandmother June, a well-known folk art collector, marveling at the fantastic
works adorning the house and watching her mother create fabulous theatrical
costumes, Jennifer was soaking it all in. These influences are what make
Jennifer, such a groundbreaking designer – one who can cater to any taste.
She began her career at Calvin Klein in New York City, but decided to return
home, devoted to expanding the family business in Florence:

“After working for Calvin Klein, I knew it was time to return to Florence and the
family business. I’ve been working for over 25 years now, constantly researching
new ideas and trends. I’m proud of my work and of my roots. I’m extremely
particular and respect the Florentine craftsmanship that is unique worldwide. I
insist on handmade items being carefully cut, designed and executed by our
Florentine artisans, on the painstaking care of detailed stitching, on the choice of
high quality materials and a precise final assembly fit for the garments. I love
creating new looks using refined, elevated quality materials for my guests.“

The city of Florence itself made it easy for her to develop a taste for the beautiful
and unique. Its exquisite craftsmanship, colors, artistic treasures, and buildings
are present in each one of her creations, though her greatest
inspiration is her children’s smiles.

Her dreams…keep designing and crafting for you all…@JenniferTattanelli
