We met Andrea during the last edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo in his stand at Padiglione Cavaniglia. He’s the founder and CEO of the “new” tech-brand Fessura. Fessura is a label that has heart in Italy and hand in Asia , where the team is able to realize products of high quality as Italy but much more Tech than in Italy. Coming from a shoemakers tradition, Fessura represents the perfect combination of past, present and future.
