About Us
The Italian passion that became a bespoke promise.
MKN Italy LLC was founded by two lifelong friends, Marco and Nicola.
The idea behind YourMadeInItaly did not come from a boardroom; it was born during a trip we took together to the United States. While on vacation, we watched people dressed for the evening and driving sports cars along sun-lit boulevards and asked ourselves a simple question:
What could we, as Italians, offer to those who love beauty but seek something truly personal?
The answer was clear: authentic Made in Italy, made to measure.
We are based in Italy, where we live and work alongside our artisans. Although MKN Italy LLC is legally registered in the United States, every piece is designed, handcrafted, and finished in Italy by expert makers we personally know and trust.
Marco grew up in northern Italy, not far from Venice, in a town renowned for San Daniele Prosciutto, where his father was a skilled craftsman. He built a career in IT until an autoimmune condition forced a change of path, opening the door to a deeper purpose: connecting people who dream with artisans who can make those dreams tangible.
Beyond his technical background, Marco has always been drawn to beauty in all its forms: from architecture and design to photography and Italian classic cars. He approaches every project with the same meticulous curiosity that once defined his IT career: understanding how things work, how they’re made, and how they can be perfected.
For him, luxury is not excess, it’s precision, emotion, and the story that an object carries within. His eye for detail ensures that every YourMadeInItaly creation is not only beautiful, but meaningful.
Nicola brings the craftsmanship DNA: his family has worked leather for generations. He understands materials, tools, and time, how a cut must be clean, a stitch must be patient, and a finish must feel right in the hand. Together, we decided not to “become” artisans ourselves. Italy already has extraordinary masters. Our role is to connect, to translate a client’s idea into a precise brief and guide it, step by step, through the hands that will bring it to life.
For Nicola, craftsmanship is more than a profession, it’s a way of life. Outside the workshop, his passions remain close to the same world: he loves motors, precision tools, and the tactile satisfaction of transforming raw materials into lasting beauty. His eye for textures and proportions guides the creative dialogue with our artisans, ensuring that every project reflects both the client’s vision and the integrity of Italian artistry.
Back in Italy, we sought out small family workshops and elder masters, keepers of techniques refined over centuries and often invisible online. We began with three specialists: one in handbags, one in small leather goods, and one in leather apparel. Their initials inspired our first brand, GLAM Passione Italiana.
Through YourMadeInItaly.com, we unite two worlds:
the speed and clarity of the digital age with the timeless rhythm of true craftsmanship.
Each piece we deliver is one of a kind, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by the artisan who made it. Because the real artists are the makers themselves.
True luxury is not in the label, it is in the story behind it, in the hands that create it, and in the heart that imagines it.
Welcome to YourMadeInItaly: your idea, handcrafted in Italy.
