Milanese
Definition
The Milanese bracelet features an ultra-fine metallic mesh that resembles a net, with continuously interwoven links without seams. In my artisanal experience, this style born right here in Milan requires particular craftsmanship to achieve that flexibility and softness that makes it so comfortable on the wrist. I create my Milanese straps using traditional techniques that preserve the elegance and functionality of this iconic Lombard design.
