Our Story

Botteghe Oscure was born in Rome, a city that intertwines history, craftsmanship and beauty. The name of the brand reflects its essence: “Botteghe” recalls know-how and artisan tradition, while “Oscure” evokes mystery and discovery, details that reveal themselves to those who want to observe. Its atmosphere combines the eternal charm of Rome and a poetic and nostalgic English melancholy, a tribute to its founders, creating a dialogue between past and present, between lights and shadows.

FABRICS

The work on fabrics is an investigation that returns fragments of visual memory. Some fabrics are authentic vintage, others faithfully reproduced, with a scrupulous search for quality. The production is entirely Made in Italy, favoring noble and natural fibers. Each piece is a story, each surface a memory to be rediscovered.

ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY

Our goal is to grow by supporting small artisan businesses and local suppliers, preserving a balance between quality and responsibility. This is why our production is limited: we choose to fight waste, warehouse stock, and disposal logics that damage the environment. Each piece is designed to last, to be lived, to respect those who made it and the world around us.

VALUE

For us, price is not a simple number, but a measure of time. Time spent in research, manufacturing, quality, creating something that has value and lasts over the years. We believe in more conscious consumption: buying less, but better, preserving and passing on rather than replacing. The value of an object, for us, is not determined by its cost but by an experience, by emotions, by the power that it has to evoke and transmit
