BY THE SEA, OUTSIDE PALERMO

Montagna d’Oro is rooted in the preservation of a disappearing goldwork craft practiced in a hilltop town of Sicily, Italy. The designer worked directly alongside one of the few remaining practicing goldwork embroiderers, discovering the irreplaceable artisanal technique no machines can replicate, due to its real gold metal properties. Alongside the craft a truth was also discovered; handmade beauty cannot be rushed, but created with patience and care.

The Craft Issue

5ELEVEN MAGAZINE · AUTUMN WINTER 2026

“To embroider you need to be in silence, you need to be with yourself. It’s a different way of life.”Maria Luisa (Librarian) Piana degli Albanesi

The cover story, The Last Master's Apprentice, was shot in Piana degli Albanesi, where I learned ricamo in oro. Two Montagna d'Oro looks appear in it, including the jade organza cape, the sequin crochet top and gold belt trousers.
