of Intention

Andrea and Ludovica — ALEA Firenze
Andrea & Ludovica — Florence, 2026
"She does not choose a stone because it is beautiful. She chooses it because it is right."

Andrea trained in leather craftsmanship in Florence. Ludovica spent years in the gem trade of Geneva before earning the world's most respected gemology degree. When they decided to make something together, a bag was the only shape that held everything.

Every ALEA piece begins with Ludovica reading the internal world of a stone and Andrea reading the grain of a hide. Only then does the making begin.

The Founders

Born from two worlds.
Made in one city.

Andrea and Ludovica met at university in Switzerland. They came from completely different backgrounds, leather and stone, craft and science — and built ALEA at the exact point where those worlds touch.

The Stones

Each handle took
500 million years to form

Rose Quartz

Origin: Brazil — Minas Gerais

Pink not by dye or treatment, but by microscopic fibres woven through the crystal as it formed. The stone of the heart — no two share the same internal pattern.

Amethyst

Origin: Brazil — Rio Grande do Sul

Worn by queens and bishops for four thousand years. The violet is iron, transformed by heat over hundreds of millions of years. Each handle is cut from one single crystal.

Rock Crystal

Origin: Brazil — Goiás

Clear quartz holds no colour of its own. It holds yours. Refractive, piezoelectric, and absolutely unique — every internal fracture the signature of that stone alone.

"She is not an accessory. She is an object of intention — shaped by time, made by hand, and destined for one woman."
