Galia

Inspiration: Color as an Expression of Identity

In a catalog of leather crafts dominated by brown, black, and tan, the Galia Collection is the splash of color that changes everything. The idea stemmed from the observation that vegetable-tanned leather—usually associated with neutral tones—can become the perfect complement to more colorful elements when working with the right combination of materials.

Colorful glass beads and metal charms on strips of vegetable-tanned leather create the contrast between the natural and the luminous that defines the Galia aesthetic: genuine craftsmanship, authentic materials, but with a touch of visual joy to complement any spring or summer look.

Materials and Process: Vegetable-Tanned Leather, Metal, and Glass

Galia bracelets are mounted on strips of high-quality vegetable-tanned leather, onto which the artisan alternately strings metal charms—small, corrosion-resistant geometric pieces—and glass beads in various colors. The closure system uses a button that you tie to your size and pass through a leather loop, allowing you to easily adjust the size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are the glass beads in the Galia Collection durable?

The glass beads in the Galia Collection are made of high-density glass that withstands normal everyday wear and tear. They are not fragile and can break from light bumps, although, like any glass material, they can break from strong, direct impacts. Do not expose them to impacts against hard surfaces.

Is the Galia Collection suitable for summer and the beach?

The Galia Collection is aesthetically perfect for summer, but we recommend removing the bracelets before entering the sea or the pool. Salt water and chlorine can affect both the leather and the finish of the steel charms. If they get wet occasionally with fresh water, that's fine: just dry them at room temperature.

What is the difference between the metal charms and the glass beads in the Galia bracelets?

The charms are metal pieces with simple geometric shapes—small beads or abstract forms—that won't tarnish and maintain their silver finish permanently. The glass beads add color and sparkle to the set.
