‘Luxury for Good’: Crafted Society is on a mission to preserve Italian artisanship

”They’re kinda like Robin Hood”. That’s how Marco Cini, owner of artisanal textile company Lanificio Arca in Prato, Italy, defines his new partners, Amsterdam-based Crafted Society. Founded in 2015 by husband and wife Martin Johnston and Lise Bonnet, the luxury label offering apparel and leather goods aims to preserve and promote centuries-old craftsmanship under threat of extinction. “After all, these are the real heroes of luxury”, says Johnston.
