Dragon Diffusion

Based in Florence and founded by Craig Wright in 1985, Dragon Diffusion harbours a deep respect for artisanal craftsmanship – inspired by the traditional basketry of France, Japan and the South Pacific Islands – by fusing weaving techniques with leatherware. Compelled by the idea that each design tells a story, the label credits local communities in India, who use wicker, reed and natural vegetable dyes, for creating its exquisite accessories. Whether you opt for a Dragon Diffusion tote or a mini bag, from the Dragon Diffusion Santa Croce silhouette formed with irregular weaving to the Triple Jump basket that boasts intricate diagonal chevrons, each piece is a sculptural feat. All Dragon Diffusion bags receive a special seal of authenticity; they’re finished with a hand-sewn charm of St. Christopher – the patron saint of travellers.
