Our Story

The Brand

The name "Nonne" carries deep personal significance. It is a deliberate echo of the final syllables of the family name Rondinone — a lineage rooted in the vibrant city of Bari, Italy. Adding a simple 'N' transforms "none" into "nonne," the Italian plural for grandparents: a tribute to the profound connection and cherished memories of family.

Nonne is more than just handbags. It is a commitment to creating beautifully made, durable pieces designed to become heirlooms. Each bag is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, meticulously brought to life using centuries-old techniques and the finest materials.

The intention is to create enduring beauty — bags that will not only accompany their owners through life but will also be cherished and passed down to future generations, carrying with them a legacy of quality and timeless style. Nonne is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the enduring elegance that binds families together.

The Designer

Behind Nonne is an Argentinian-Italian fashion and textile designer whose journey with creation began in childhood. From an early age, a passion for design blossomed into a dedication to the most artisanal and ancient techniques of sewing and crafting.

Her formal training built on this foundation: graduate studies in textile engineering and science, followed by formation in Florence as a leather artisan — immersed in centuries-old Italian leather craft. These years of study and practice form the very foundation of the brand.

Her lineage is rooted in the vibrant city of Bari, Italy. In this family, life was a rich tapestry woven with the threads of food and enduring traditions. The women, in particular, embodied a timeless elegance — a quiet sophistication that transcended fleeting trends.

It is this very essence — the enduring beauty, the respect for heritage, and the spirit of connection — that inspires every piece she creates.
