The Casale Family, who make our bags

The Casale Family, who make our bags

For seven years, Kati and Giovanni Casale have been at the very centre of my business, helping refine and produce the styles that I design from my studio here in the Highlands.

A Italian family, Giovanni and Kati, make most of our leather bags and have supported me since I made my very first samples with them. 

As well as supporting my small brand, Kati and Giovanni Casale work with some if the UK and Europe's best known leather brands and to have their expertise, passion and willingness to see C.Nicol do well is so precious.

Whilst sampling small leather goods and textile bags from the studio here in the Highlands has started this year, we always plan to work with the Casale family for the production of our key bags styles. ❤️
