The case has arrived, and it’s beautiful! It made my girlfriend cry when she opened it. Thanks to you and to your craftsmen for their wonderful work. I’ll be sure to recommend you to everyone who admires the case.

It was a pleasure working Marco. He is very patient and very descriptive in explaining materials and trying to get the best for your specific needs. He was very helpful and opened to many ideas trying to understand what it was exactly I needed. I would definitely work with him again in the coming future. I recommend him and his craftsman for a professional, respectful company.

Leather Briefcase/Laptop & Book Tote
Troy K.
Marco and his craftsman are incredible! Their attention to detail ensured this project would be successful and exceed my expectations. They thought of things I would never have thought of. Their quality of their work is stunning and the final product is impressive. It attracts compliments everywhere I go. The price was more than fair and reasonable. I will never buy another leather product off the shelf but will return to Marco and his staff every time.

This was a great experience. Marco was responsive and seemed very intent on making sure that the product I wanted was the product he would custom make. The work was done in a timely manner. I would definitely work with Marco again the next time I need a custom-made leather item.
Tattoo Style Business Card Wallet

Working on a project with Marco Buttazzoni of MKN italy, is just an exciting thing to do. It's pretty much like, when you have an idea for a tattoo, and you go to your favorite tattoo shop to get it. Marco and his craftmen's team are here to help you have the best possible custom product. They told me what they can do; in or out of my budget; what would be the best final result, in giving me smart advices for my leather wallet. They always tried their best to include all the features that I wanted, by making adjustments, trying different sizes, etc.... for this wallet. And even more, the craftmen made 2 samples, just to give me an idea of how the final product will look like!!! Finally, after a couple of weeks of communication, we agreed on what became my custom leather wallet. I own now a high quality handmade leather wallet, that we made together; and that's a real one of a kind custom product. I highly recommand MKN Italy if you want a quality leather product made by professional and truly passionate craftmen.
Leather belt
Tamara K.
In a word, I am delighted with my collaboration with MKN Italy. This company marries artistry, quality, accuracy, and professionalism. MKN recreated a belt for my husband that is beautiful and accurate down to the last detail. I sent a few pictures of a very tired but much loved belt, asking for a nearly exact reproduction, and that is what Marco and his team of skilled craftsmen and craftswomen delivered. Marco was prompt, professional and completely dedicated to satisfying my every specification, literally down to the millimeter. I had searched without success for several years to find a suitable replacement for this belt. Yet within two weeks of agreeing on a final design with MKN, I had a beautifully crafted, one-of-a-kind custom belt to give to my husband. I recommend MKN Italy without reservation to anyone seeking high quality, custom crafted, authentic leather products.

Chris S.
I am extremely happy with the wallet. I'm someone who would notice little things that could have been wrong in the recreation of the wallet, but everything is exactly how I would want it to be. I do wish it was a little smaller, as its for a woman, but I didn't specify size so that completely falls on me. I am so excited to give it to her and to see that expression on her face!!

This was definitely the best choice. Communication was excellent and my project was completely understood since day one. The guidance through the process and how every single detail were executed exactly the way I dream it when I design this project are amazing. Thank you very much Marco Buttazzoni for helping me bringing this project to live.
Leather belts
Bruce A.
The two custom leathered belts were so great with buckles I was able to choose and the monogram on the one belt. My partner really loves them both and they were a nice surprise under the Christmas tree. Boxes they came in are elegant, and working with Marco for several months was a complete joy. Thank you so much, Marco. We need to plan something for this Christmas!!

My husband loved his wallet! He'd been searching for a wallet just like the one he'd had for years... and nothing was ever exactly what he wanted. Marco made a superb wallet exactly the way my husband wanted it and it far exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality leather goods, as I could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you again!!

Cathy B.
If I could give 10 stars for Marco, I would. Marco wanted to be sure this wallet (bi-fold) was exactly what I was looking for to give to my husband. It was a very odd size and very specific. His got damaged and we couldn’t begin to find anything like it already made. Marco was great at communicating and in a very quick manner. We received the wallet today (Dec 3rd) exactly the day I was promised. My husband was thrilled that I was able to come up with what he was hoping for (it was a wonderful surprise today indeed). Thank you, Marco, and your staff for such a wonderful, quality product.

Marco was great. I submitted a 30 yr old BiFold wallet which had many CCs pockets, a coin purse, and an ID window to be replicated. He took the photos I submitted and did beautiful job setting up the replication and shipped from Italy in only 4 days after about a week to create the wallet. Really amazing work and enjoyed working with Marco on my wallet project. He understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish recreating the wallet. Definitely recommend working with him on your custom item. Thanks Marco.
Leather luggage
Peter F.
I had been picturing a piece of hand luggage - not just another carry on but mid-century styled valise. Marco and his team took a few hand drawings and produced exactly what I had hoped for, improving it along the way.

MKN Italy, LLC was excellent to work with. I would recommend working with them to anyone I know. They sent me tons of pictures, and always asked if they had the project correct. The wallet is amazing in every way. They helped me understand things about wallets that I didn't know. I hope to work with them again in the future.
