Tanguro is the echo of an eternal déjà-vu, a nod to the vibrant, vivid colors that inspire my creations. I raised my daughter in a world where imagination and color reigned supreme. I remember having fun designing bright, colorful sweaters and dresses for her, which then came to life through my mother’s skilled hands. From those moments, my inspiration was born: the desire to create pieces that radiate wonder and originality, evoking joyful thoughts. The name itself, “Tanguro,” comes from my daughter’s vocabulary: a fresh, creative, and unforgettable sound that captures the essence of Tanguro.

About Me
I am Tanguro, but I am also Alessandra Galardi. I was born in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, arts, and crafts. In this city, steeped in beauty and tradition, I have breathed in a love for handmade creations since I was a child. My mother and grandmother crafted clothes and hats with patience and dedication, passing on to me a love for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the pursuit of harmony. As I grew up, this passion became a part of me: I nurtured it in the small things, until it eventually took shape as Tanguro. My bags are born from this blend of memory and creativity: not mere fashion accessories, but expressions of visual delight, where diverse materials—velvets, linens, raffia, and wool threads—come together in unexpected combinations. Each creation is a unique piece that tells my story, a bridge between ancient art and a contemporary vision.
My ideas are born from the little treasures at home: from the objects that filled my mother’s and grandmothers’ wardrobes, from fabrics of a thousand colors, from shiny buttons, and from the warm voices that wrapped around my memories. Images full of affection and nostalgia, which magically resurface and transform into handmade creations, one by one, unique and alive. I draw inspiration from memories and explosive colors, bright and bold shades. This is Tanguro: a blend of memory and imagination, a journey through color that lights up the present and turns each bag into a little story to wear.
For me, craftsmanship is an invaluable treasure. Each bag I design comes to life through the skilled hands of artisans, who devote care and passion to every detail, turning each creation into a small masterpiece. These are bags that tell a story and express personality, where technique and creativity come together to shape unique pieces, full of beauty and originality, designed to accompany their wearer with elegance and character.
