Founded as a fabric and passementerie shop in Naples in 1865, Tramontano expanded into leather goods in 1950; its Chiaia Store carries that history into today’s accessories.
The Chiaia address
Tramontano’s Chiaia Store brings the company’s leather goods to Via Chiaia 143, in Naples’s Chiaia neighbourhood.1
From a Naples notions shop to leatherwork
Francesco Tramontano opened a fabric and passementerie shop in central Naples in 1865. In 1950, his son Aldo expanded the work into leather goods. Together, the dates trace the business’s move from its original trade into leather accessories.2
A leather archive with a working vocabulary
Tramontano says its archive contains more than 600 models. Its craft signatures include hand stitching, braided leather, brass closures and details in horn or bamboo; the present range spans bags and small leather goods. For a bespoke project, clients can choose details such as leather, colour, size and closure.2,3

Find the worked edge on a Tramontano object
Tramontano’s move from fabrics and passementerie into leather goods makes one detail especially rewarding: where a strap, seam or braided edge meets the bag body. The current catalogue separates totes, shoulder bags, clutches, small leather goods and travel items. Select an exact named model before attributing hand stitching or braiding; a category page alone cannot prove the technique on every bag. The Chiaia shop can then be read through a real object rather than its 1865 date alone.2
- Model: identify the actual bag and materials.
- Detail: inspect its joining, edge or braid from a real close view.
- Claim: describe only the technique verified for that model.
