Bag designer Elena Ghisellini got her start at Trussardi, an innovative school that taught her the best of traditional and cutting-edge techniques in the leather goods sector before perfecting her skills with Salvatore Ferragamo. Ghisellini currently divides her time between Florence, where she has her own design studio for the development of her own range, and Paris where she designs and supervises Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci’s leather accessories collections.
