The TERRIDA story begins in 1970 with the foundation of a new style of luxury. Sergio e Anna Terrida embark on a journey that would find them much success. Born into generations of knowledge of the antique artisan methods employed in the pelletteria of old, both Sergio and Anna would bring the art of crafting only the finest leather into articles of beauty.
With a strong foothold on expert craftsmanship and an eye for uniqueness, Sergio e Anna would instill their talents into their children who, years later, would operate the company and bring their parents ispiration into fruition. Through the years, TERRIDA has developed strong bonds with clients who want only the best quality. TERRIDA continues to provide leather goods, cut and stitched in Italy, using those same traditional skills to from the most desirable, functional, and fashionable articles available today. The family factory, being situated in Venice - perhaps one of the most unique and magical city in the world - lends inspiration to Monica, the daughter of Sergio and Anna Terrida, whom, with her brother Pierluigi have been proud to inherit not only a legacy that stands for Italian determination for quality and perfection, but also the name TERRIDA which has grown to signify a luxury unlike all others.
Monica, TERRIDA’s principal designer and inspirational core, utilizes her knowledge of Italian craftsmanship, her formal design schooling, and draws her creative inspiration from the muse that is Venice.This valuable endowment coupled with years of experience in fashionable design and development, has enabled Monica, the project woman, to create with passion and plan an entire collection of harmonizing articles from start to finish.

Monica recognizes that the production of a collection in a very sensual process. By identifying her project vision and immersing herself in the design, the skin selection, the detailed cutting process, and the stitching, Monica is delighted with her creations. She understands that a travel bag must be practical and stylish, especially those which are designed for men. For Monica,it is “the woman’s point of view that makes all the difference”. ”A travel bag or an overnight bag must not only be practical for women, but must be an expression of satisfaction with life - the beggining of wonderful travels”, says Monica, “when she travels, the woman must be different from men - our luggage must reveal her feminility, but also be an expression of her indipendence and freedom as a woman!”
