Story 3.
Merletto d’Orvieto
Welcome to the third episode of Italian Vibes, Nexion’s storytelling series celebrating the artisanal gems cherished in Italian Botteghe.
“My entire life is tied to merletto.” With these words, Loretta Lovisa sums up her story, intimately intertwined with Orvieto lace, a tradition she inherited as a child, watching her grandmother and mother sew on their doorstep.
Over time, she transformed it into a profession that has brought her immense satisfaction, carrying her from her small, charming artisan bottega in the heart of Orvieto, across Europe, till to Japan. Places where the essence of Italian style renews itself each day, inspiring those who see beauty as the purest form of harmony in life.
Memory shaping the future: that
is tradition.
At Nexion, Italian tradition guides every step of our process. A genuine passion for research and creativity, a careful eye for materials, and a constant drive to improve quietly shape everything we do.
By honoring the wisdom of generations of artisans, we carry the spirit of the botteghe into industrial production, letting innovation and true excellence arise naturally from craft, dedication, and imagination.
“The sculpted reliefs of Orvieto’s Duomo guide my needle. The city breathes into every stitch, and my lace sends its spirit back into the world”.
I’ve woven a tradition that traveles the world.
