They are sailors, we are sailors!
BOMBELLI. creates leather goods as an ideal of marine life. Inspired by the age-old know-how of the sea, the project attributes new uses to the materials preferred by sailors through architectural volumes with playful and ingenious wear.
Modern and lively pieces to dress the mind
and free bodies.
Protean, resistant and durable: clean lines and vibrant colors for the expression of an assumed sensuality. By confronting singular materials and innovative systems, the project thus draws a first chapter inspired by sailors for the life of landlubbers.
By manufacturing each limited series piece by hand in France and Italy using the best hands and raw materials, the project places quality and durability at the heart of its thinking.
A global quality approach.
Neoprene and leathers are mostly upcycled from surplus from major French luxury houses, certified by Leather Working Group, ISO 9001 & Reach. Ropes and metal parts from the maritime world are manufactured in France by the best players in the sector.
Creation rhymes with human responsibility.
By donating part of its profits to SOS Méditerranée,
The project is committed to a major European associative player and contributes, on its scale, to search and rescue at sea.

Arnaud Bombelli is a graduate of Olivier de Serres, Duperré and the Institut Français de la Mode. He worked for more than ten years for French and international fashion and luxury brands, where he was in charge of bag and shoe collections. He observed and learned the demands of the industry and focused on the way objects are told and made.
“Behind the walls, always the sea”
The ocean plays a crucial role in the construction of the project: synonymous with ultimate freedom and the link between man and the elements where time is suspended, it is this rich and poetic universe which triggers in 2021 - moored for six weeks by a lucky accident in the Caribbean, on the island of Marie-Galante - his desire to create BOMBELLI.
Arnaud decides to use his experiences, his endless passion for the ocean and his taste for travel, cinema and French romantic painting to write his own story.

Beyond the walls, always the sea. The ocean propels them to the ends of the worlds. Carried by the powerful winds they go looking for the unfindable. The knotted ropes weave a link between their life and their glass ship. There where the spine straightens to dance with the waves. With a lively mind without artifice they dare and they invent. They will live stronger intoxicated by their imaginary countries.
They are sailors, we are sailors!

Al di là delle mura, ancora il mare. The ocean li's back to the end of the world. Transported by potentiated winds, it remains in the air. The cord annodates tessono a legacy tra le loro vite e il loro vascello. There dove the dorsal spine if it tends to dance with the wave, Inventano and osano the spirito vivace, senza artifici. Continue to live stronger, inebriati dai loro paesi immaginari.
They are marinated,
we are all sailors!
