Hello everyone, I'm Susanna Beggio, the founder of Bottega Noctuae.
First of all thank you for visiting my shop, I hope you will find the garments of your dreams! My purpose is to make art, I take ispirations from nature, antique fairytales, ballets and old paintings. I've always loved sewing and making art since i was a kid, and I strongly believe that living in Italy boosted a lot my creativity as it can be considered the cradle of art.
I studied art in the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and Engineering in the antique University of Padua. My mother taught me how to sew and both of my parents taught me most of all to always put care, passion and love in what i do.
For my brand, I chose the name Bottega Noctuae, which is the latin for "The shop of the Owl" because I sew during the evening since during the day I'm a software developer. That's why I predominantly produce made to order items, and this ensures zero waste in terms of fabric and products.
If you choose BottegaNoctuae you are opting for sustainable and ethical fashion. I oppose to fast fashion creating enterely handmade garments, paying attention to every detail and selecting accurately materials. I strongly believe that fashion must be inclusive, that's why I offer made to measure corsets and personalizations so that everyone can express their own aestethic with their own unique garment.
Last but not least, all of the crochet and knit products that you can see in the shop are designed and handcrafted from my talented mother Marisa and sister Cristina, you will love their works of art!
I wish you a good shopping and do not hesitate to contact me for any doubt or information ♥
