The Automobile Club Lugano Classic, although very young, has already implemented leading agreements and collaborations. Among its prestigious partners, Solento stands out: a brand of fine hand-made and tailor-made leather goods, with headquarters in Germany but representative offices in Monaco, Spain, the USA and Australia.
Solento has already created refined leather bags exclusively for the Automobile Club, presented at the last november event at Villa Ciani, on the lakeside of Lugano, and provided to club members with a reserved discount. For ACLC members Solento also offers privileged purchasing conditions on its flagship products, i.e. the very high quality tailor-made creations made from scratch specifically for each customer in the automotive, nautical and aircraft world, basing on the specific dimensions of the vehicle, its interior trim and, of course, the owner’s taste and travel or lifestyle preferences.
Solento’s adventure began over a century ago with the history of the owner family, engaged in a weaving and textile production business. About twenty years ago came the intuition for the artisanal development of customized suitcases and complete travel sets, designed to adapt perfectly to roadsters and convertibles. From there, over time, originated the expansion to the world of boating and private jets.
Each Solento product is designed and made with care, by hand and through the use of special machines that also allow batch production. The flagship offer concerns classic leather goods, with a large and complete catalog that replicates grains and colors of the most important and prestigious brands and manufacturers on the market. Solento leather comes from Italian production and it’s mass-dyed and embossed with a special surface treatment, pigmented and opaque in order to erase its natural imperfections, making it suitable for intensive use and offering very high resistance to stains and dirt from liquids.
There are over sixty colors in the Solento catalogue, but it is possible to reproduce any color on a sample. Solento also combines the traditional finishes of natural leather with the hi-tech feeling of a technological material such as carbon fibre, with unsurpassed lightness and performance: Technical Carbon Embossing is Solento’s interpretation of the appearance of carbon fiber on synthetic leather surfaces. In contrast to the monochromatic color palette typically associated with this material, the Technical Carbon Embossing technique on Solento synthetic leather combines the sporty look of carbon fiber with the advanced properties of vegan leather, providing customers and enthusiasts with a further exclusive option to genuine leather or Alcantara.
Solento, a fascinating world, refined and unexpectedly accessible, thanks to the agreement with Automobile Club Lugano Classic.
