The roots
For over seventy years, four generations have helped grow our company, creating unique accessories that reflect our passion for craftsmanship. “Everyone in our company has a very specific role,” explains Lory Persano, co-founder of the Salentino brand, adding, “I like to think of our company as a large family, a strong and flourishing tree capable of weathering any storm thanks to its deep roots.”
To get a glimpse of this company led by Alberto, Giuseppe and Lory Persano, you must visit the historical archive located on the first floor of the Maglie store, where over seventy years of history and research are carefully preserved.
“When people ask us what the secret to our success is,” Lory explains, “I tell them: we have never forgotten who we are or where we come from. We have never forgotten our roots or our traditions, but we have combined passion and innovation to create a unique product.”
Materials
“When we talk about materials, we love to reignite our customers’ passion for the same care with which we selected fine leathers, fabrics, and velvets to make our product unique.” Explains Giuseppe Persano, founder of the brand “La Sellerie Limited,” a label that aims to showcase Salento’s handmade craftsmanship to the entire world.
“Our creations are the result of a decade-long search for materials that gain value over time and are not afraid to show the marks left by the passing years. Those who choose our accessories contribute to the development of Italian craftsmanship and share with us a unique and inimitable lifestyle. All our creations are born from our land, Salento, the cradle of ancient civilizations and enduring traditions.”
Stepping into the Maglie store feels like stepping back in time. The sounds of old workshops, the steady hum of sewing machines, and the rich aroma of leather will bring you back to life with a truly unique experience.
