THE STORY BEHIND<\/span><\/span><\/h1>
Born from recovery, crafted for discovery.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div><\/div>

MATERIALS<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/header>
<\/p>\n

For my bags, I use recycled T-shirt yarn from\u00a0Hoooked recycling center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The material is made from 100% textile scraps from the European fashion industry,
processed under fair conditions in Portugal. Since the yarn consists of genuine
surplus materials, every spool is limited and cannot be reproduced \u2013 once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

<\/div>

MADE TO ORDER<\/span><\/span><\/h3>
You can choose your favorite colors from my current yarn collection and decide between gold or silver metal details. Each color is only available in small quantities \u2013 making every bag truly one of a kind.<\/p>
\n

If you\u2019re unsure about the color choice, I\u2019ll be happy to guide you personally and help find the combination that truly suits you.<\/div><\/header>

<\/div>

MADE BY HAND<\/span><\/span><\/h3>
Every bag is personally crocheted by me. Crafted with great attention to detail and recycled t-shirt yarn, it takes between 8 to 12 hours of work to create a piece as unique as the person wearing it. <\/p>
\n

At CHOLLENTI, you aren't buying a mass-produced item, but a piece of true craftsmanship and individuality.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

One-of-a-kind pieces

\ninstead of mass production<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
You value sustainability and you are searching for that certain something? Then you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/div><\/header>
<\/div>
<\/p>\n

Actually, my plan for the label\u2019s name was quite simple: VIC. Short, catchy, the first three letters of my first name. I already had the most playful marketing slogans in mind \u2013 from \u201cDo you have a Vic yet?\u201d to \u201cThat looks so Vic!\u201d. But a trademark search quickly brought me back to reality: the name was already patented several times.<\/p>\n

I needed a new idea. Today, I am incredibly happy about it, because that\u2019s how I found CHOLLENTI \u2013 my grandfather\u2019s Italian surname. Now my label not only carries a piece of family history, but it also sounds exactly how the bags feel: special and full of character.<\/p>\n

My designs bear names like Malta, Vienna, or Napoli. Why? Because I love to be inspired while traveling. I enjoy observing what people are wearing, which colors define the streets, and the vibe that\u2019s in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Under the name CHOLLENTI, I transform recycled t-shirt yarn from textile remnants into unique handbags. In a world of mass production, every one of my bags is a conscious statement \u2013 unique in texture combined with high-quality metal details.<\/p>\n
