Sicily is a land of stories, stories of craftsmanship, myths, and women who turn tradition into innovation. From this rich culture comes the collaboration between Ohoskin® and Ammìa. These two brands, founded by Sicilian women, share a passion for fashion and sustainability.
On one side, Cinzia Franzò, with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, launched Ammìa to celebrate women through iconic Sicilian figures. On the other, Adriana Santanocito, founder of Ohoskin®, has transformed citrus byproducts into an innovative material that merges design, technology, and environmental responsibility.
Together, Ohoskin® and Ammìa bring Sicily into the future, blending tradition with innovation.
In 2017, Cinzia Franzò founded Ammìa, a brand that celebrates Sicilian identity through bags and accessories that narrate history, just like the traditional Sicilian carts of the past.
Once upon a time, Sicilian carretti carried myths and legends across the island. Today, it is Ammìa’s bags and accessories that take on this role, weaving together symbols and traditions in a modern form.
The Abbunnanzia collection is the perfect embodiment of this heritage:
- Designs inspired by Sicilian carts, featuring intricate decorations and vibrant colors
- Symbols of prosperity, such as cornucopias, lemons, oranges, and wheat
- Innovative and sustainable materials, for a more responsible fashion choice
The name Ammìa expresses an intense desire both “to have” and “to receive.” It is a Sicilian expression filled with emotion, now materialized in bags and accessories that capture the soul of women and the essence of the island’s heritage.
To bring this unique collection to life, Ammìa has chosen Ohoskin®, the innovative material made from discarded orange and prickly pear waste.
This sustainable alternative to animal and synthetic leather is the result of a circular process that merges advanced technology with Made in Italy craftsmanship, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact.
Choosing an Ammìa bag crafted with Ohoskin® means wearing a piece of Sicilian history while promoting a more sustainable future.
