‘Experience has taught us that our customers don't follow mass approval, but have very different tastes, requests and needs. So we try to create items that can embrace all of these diversities, even if it's not easy.’
Lara Marchi, co-owner, Antica Stamperia Artigiana Marchi
Antica are a business we can relate to. The more mass production and digitised franchises grow, the more we long for a unique product that reflects who we are as individuals.
Glide Print embrace the craftsmanship of print. It’s still an industry where timeless techniques such as glorious letterpress or the ability to mix colour to the perfect shade because you’ve been doing it for years are valued and used.
Antica are a fourth-generation fabric printing family who still use the 400-year-old press their ancestors worked on to create their beautiful printed fabrics. They also use the old wooden moulds to create their designs as well as hand-engraving new ones using the same traditional techniques.
Everything they make is sold in their family-run shop in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy. They are true artisans who love and honour the timeless methods of their craft to create unique products.
