The new-bucolic handmade in Italy:

Abruzzo is a land where time is perceived differently. There is room to breathe, allowing the mind to understand different perspectives and improve the quality of life.

Vuscichè investigates the concept of sustainable fashion through the use of available resources and hunts for the treasures of this land that must be preserved for future generations. With these resources he creates accessories and clothing, recycling typical fabrics and involving local artisans.

The historic Abruzzo bedspread returns to the Vuscichè collections. We fell in love with the fabric, the patterns, the colors and the idea of giving a second chance to the traditional covers recycling fabrics to reinterpret the timeless beauty.

Vuscichè in local dialect means 'Mixture' and that’s what we do. We mix ancient fabrics and scraps of products to give life to new garments; returning to the territory and celebrating its artisanal history, tradition and values. We collect antique blankets in different combinations, where the lighter color predominates and emphasizes the drawings of roses or angels or geometric patterns.

After retiring, we restore and then transform, trying not to miss any part of the original object. By hand, with the heart.

Tradition: The Abruzzo blanket is an authentic symbol of the culture and history of this region. Originally made with the wool of local sheep, it served to protect people from the harsh winter climate of Abruzzo. Vuscichè has chosen to keep intact the authenticity of these blankets, preserving their charm and historical value. Each blanket is carefully selected and handmade, so as to keep alive the art of local craftsmanship.

An opportunity for the local community: The project of regeneration of the blankets of Vuscichè in Abruzzo is not only promoting sustainability, but also represents an important opportunity for the local community. Through its collaboration with artisans and small businesses in Abruzzo, Vuscichè supports the local economy and helps preserve traditional skills. Each regenerated blanket is the result of craftsmanship and love for tradition, thus helping to keep alive the Abruzzo’s culture.

The Abruzzo blanket: The use of goods of extraordinary beauty as raw materials does not promote sustainability: The original Abruzzo blanket is an authentic jewel of extraordinary beauty and of inestimable historical value. Using these blankets as a basis for replicas might seem like a way to preserve the tradition, but in reality it could lead to a progressive decrease in the availability of these real works of art over time. Instead, promoting the conservation and responsible use of original blankets could be a more sustainable approach to preserving their beauty and value.
