The story of Roberta di Camerino, one of the great Italian fashion empires, begins with Giuliana Coen, the brand's innovative founder. The label's name was born by combining the name Roberta, taken from her favourite song "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”. Giuliana relied the extraordinary craftsmanship synonymous with Venice to create one of the region's only major brands. She most famous for using “Soprarizzo" velvets woven in the dark on antique looms and local craftsmans of brass for her fine hardware.
