What those who choose Tribal Beat are looking for?
Craftmanship
The concept of craftsmanship can take very different shades depending on a brand’s goal: to some, a creative approach is enough, and they assemble ready-made, mass-produced pieces according to their taste. Others design a line and rely on small industries or artisans to produce a certain number of item.
Then there are artisans who produce articles in limited numbers and craft most of the materials they use, starting from their own design. Finally, sometimes there are artisans who envision and create unique pieces, as a one-off.
Tribal Beat belongs to the latter group. How? Inventing design and models; choosing, cutting and sewing the leather and fabrics; investigating the history and the origins behind the amulets and the special decorative elements I insert in my jewels; spending time to find the right matching in colours so as to be interesting and unconventional, the mix that creates harmonious though unusual proportions.
The creative process
The process is not always streamlined: experience helps, but it might take several hours before moving on to the realization part, not immediate itself, especially when you pay attention to details. Each piece is thought and made as if it were for me, standards are therefore quite high. That does not mean my jewels are “perfect”: otherwise that would remove the feeling of the hands that worked on them, it would be too much mind and less heart.
Fulfilling? For sure. Especially when I see a smile brighten those who find a creation suitable for them among my different proposals, because it triggers a memory, an emotion, something that gratifies their perception of themselves or of their physical traits.
