Presentation
We preserve the precious cultural patrimony of hand-embroidery which risks disappearing with the last generation of embroiderers in Italy, creating an innovative and scalable model of de-localized manufacturing to generate new qualified work opportunities for unemployed women in Italy.
Di Pasquale Guthmann designs and commercializes unique, sustainable lifestyle products, handmade for the global luxury market, preserving the precious female heritage of hand embroidery in Italy, through an innovative model to enable a virtual factory, integrating training, production collaboration, online logistic and systems interoperability.
The remote-working model allows for women to work throughout the whole territory, organizing their time and work, supported and protected by technology, including software applications with augmented reality to learn, monitor and correct. The project includes systems to ensure traceability and transparency throughout the value chain.

Challenges
Italian high quality craftsmanship is the maximum expression of true luxury.
In 2017, small artisanal enterprises have generated 43 bln Euro of turnover.
However, the lack of access to international markets and of generational change is leading to the extinction of some artisanal traditions. Among these is the art of hand embroidery which was an important economic resource for women in the South, where the female unemployment rate is the highest in Europe with 70%**.
