London-based, Rosh Mahtani studied French and
Italian at Oxford University. Upon graduating in 2012, she was inspired to
create modern heirlooms, born from the literature she had studied: Dante
Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy,” in particular.
After graduating she spent two years interning at
Harper’s Bazaar, luxury travel company Mr. & Mrs. Smith and working as a
Visual Merchandiser at Avenue32.com; all the while, dreaming of her collection,
and creating it by night. With no formal training and a vehement obsession with
the idea of melancholy and imperfection, Alighieri was officially launched in
2014.
Rosh wanted to create a brand that is firmly rooted
in literature and travel, each piece is related to one of Dante’s 101
poems; that tells a story of whirlwind adventures, battered creatures, scraggy
landscapes
and passionate mistakes. Rosh is creative director
of Alighieri Jewellery, and is currently also writing for Luelle Magazine.
Alighieri are part of Boden Future British.
