ANTHONY BADAMI
Anthony Badami is a highly experienced Italian-American designer who has made his mark in the apparel design industry for over 16 years. With a diverse portfolio of designing collections in both active wear & luxury industries, he has honed his skills in every aspect of the design process from concept to production.
Throughout his career, Anthony has had the privilege of working with some of the biggest names in the fashion world, including renowned designers & luxury brands. His extensive experience has allowed him to gain an in-depth understanding of the industry, its trends & evolving demands.
His grandfather was more than just a mentor to him; he was the one who ignited his passion for leathercraft. At the young age of 13, he was shown the meticulous attention to detail, love & unwavering focus required to create something of quality & beauty. He still remembers the excitement he felt when he made his first leather bracelet, not knowing then, that he would carry on his grandfather's legacy in ways neither could ever imagine.
Over the years, He combined his love for comics, modern architecture & post-apocalyptic imagery to create one-of-a-kind pieces that elevate any style. His grandfather's legacy lives on through his work, as he continues to create exceptional essentials that stand the test of time.
PACKAGING
We are committed to sustainability & ensuring the planet is able to flourish for generations beyond us. We choose to be a company that doesn’t allow single-use plastics to end up in our oceans, on the streets of Los Angeles & beyond. Here at Badami & Co, we are consistently working to find new ways to be thoughtful to our planet through our choices of packaging & materials.
LEATHER MATERIALS
Genuine leathers produced in Italy & America. Our skins are by-product of the meat industry. (no animals are harmed for their skins) We are always looking to be as environmentally friendly, sustainable & ethical as possible. We constantly work to evolve with society & ethical practices. We have looked at “Vegan” leather options for our vegan customers however at the moment, the materials & processes currenlty available do not meet high enough standards for us or the environment. Therefore we have chosen natural skins that last over 50 years & are eventually biodegradable.
