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.
