MARK / GIUSTI Opens Its Doors for ApritiModa Milano 2025

A celebration of Italian craftsmanship, sustainable luxury, and authentic Made-in-Italy design in the heart of Milan

 The House of MARK / GIUSTI, a leading leather goods store and creative hub in Milan, proudly announces its participation in ApritiModa Milano 2025, taking place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October.

For two exclusive days, the public will have the rare opportunity to step inside one of Milan’s most distinctive destinations for artisan leather goods, handmade bags, and sustainable luxury accessories. Located in the Porta Venezia Design District, the House of MARK / GIUSTI invites visitors to experience authentic Italian craftsmanship in action through live demonstrations and personal storytelling.

Throughout the weekend, guests will witness a master artisans crafting MARK / GIUSTI’s signature handmade leather bags, pouches, and accessories, showing every detail — from cutting and stitching to dyeing and finishing. Each creation embodies the artistry of Made in Italy design, combining time-honoured savoir-faire with a contemporary, mosaic-inspired aesthetic.

Every one-hour slot will be guided by Creative Director Mark Farhat Giusti, who will personally welcome guests and reveal the brand’s journey — from its origins in reviving ancient mosaic art to becoming a leader in sustainable Italian craftsmanship and luxury leather design.

“At MARK / GIUSTI, we believe that true luxury lies in authenticity — in the craft, the hands, and the heart behind every piece,” says Mark Farhat Giusti, Founder and Creative Director. “ApritiModa gives us the chance to share our process with visitors from all over the world who come to Milan seeking the real Made-in-Italy experience.”

The enthusiasm has been extraordinary: all available slots booked within just two hours of appearing on the official ApritiModa Milano website. Over 180 visitors — from Italy and abroad — will be welcomed into the space over the two days, including design enthusiasts, fashion journalists, international tourists, and those looking for authentic Milan souvenirs, Italian artisan workshops, or the best handmade leather gifts in Milan.

The House of MARK / GIUSTI embodies the brand’s philosophy: “This Is Not a Store” — it is a creative atelier, a bag store, and a souvenir boutique that merges retail with artistry. It is a place where design lovers can experience how real Italian leather bags are made, shop directly from the artisan’s hands, and take home a unique piece of Made in Italy heritage.
