Not only did they share the same roots, but also a great passion for the \u201chandmade\u201d and a strong taste for beauty. That is how they created the <strong>Cardellino<\/strong> Italian fashion brand, establishing their first product, the rattling monkey, as an iconic and unique toy, luxury in toys defined by quality, exclusivity and craftsmanship. Later, they went on to add other toys, always in new variations, demonstrating unexplored potentialities.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the creation of jewellery inspired by the magic of Swarovski crystals was added to their toy production. Sophisticated jewellery embellished with Swarovski Elements, in a play of shimmering reflections and couture splendour, decidedly elegant, but at the same time urban and undoubtedly versatile.<\/p>\n<p>The common thread of our production is yarn, worked as crochet, lace, embroidery and tatting, whose fine weave narrates an ancient story.<\/p>\n<p>We are proud to protect the heritage of know-how found in traditional Italian craftsmanship and we most audaciously add the know-how typical of Italian design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;10&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562324123895{padding-top: 10px !important;background-color: #f4f4f2 !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;Qualit\u00e0&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562324003772{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2320&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562756518641{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 45px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #d5e5ef !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578571553174{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>QUALITY<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A quality product made with raw materials such as Italian cotton, ICEA certified, and also with organic mixed products.
