Dive into Nature with L'ora blu

L'ora blu, a unique leather brand established by GOODIE, is taking a bold step in fashion by introducing beautiful leather items that allow you to carry landscapes with you. The latest collection features fish leather made from discarded sea bream skin, embodying the essence of the ocean, while hand-dyed gradient leather reflects the changing sky. The company believes in sustainable craftsmanship and aims to turn waste into stunning art.

Concept and Inspiration

The name "L'ora blu" translates to "the blue hour" in Italian, inspired by the fleeting moments of dawn and dusk when the world turns a mesmerizing shade of blue. By translating the waves of the ocean into the scale patterns of fish leather, and the colors of the sky into gradient leather, each piece tells a story, inviting wearers to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.

The brand launched its first two items, the Orizzonte #01 Round Zipper Wallet and the Orizzonte #02 Business Card Holder, which quickly gained attention and recognition, sweeping multiple media outlets. These pieces even secured the Iron A' Design Award at the prestigious A' Design Award & Competition 2022-2023, spotlighting their innovative design and sustainable ethos.

New Launch: Orizzonte #03 Wallet

The highlight of their recent offerings is the Orizzonte #03 Compact Two-fold Garçon Wallet, which replicates the ocean's waves through its fish leather articulation and showcases the beauty of the sky through its gradient dye. Remarkably crafted from the auspicious sea bream leather, this wallet aims not only to be functional but also a conversation starter that you can admire every day.

Each wallet is dyed by artisans in Himeji, Japan, evoking the transitions of the sky’s colors meticulously. With the scales of sea bream clearly defined, this wallet expresses waves vividly, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design aesthetics, thus standing out in a market saturated with conventional leather goods.

Sustainability and Heritage

The use of fish leather comes from a strong desire to create sustainably while also paying homage to food culture. Fish leather, often viewed as a by-product, offers a unique opportunity to buy responsibly. By utilizing this material, L'ora blu encourages consumers to rethink leather goods, advocating for greater awareness about waste in our food systems.

The design ethos also ties back to fishing – a sport that has inspired the brand since its inception under GOODIE. The connection to nature helps emphasize the importance of sustainability and heritage in every product developed under the L'ora blu name.
