Exquisite Materials: The Artisanal Quality of Mariella Martinato
Mariella Martinato presents an image of top quality materials.
When tradition meets attention to detail, timeless objects are born.
Mariella Martinato, an Italian company deeply rooted in artisanal heritage, selects only the finest materials to create accessories dedicated to personal care and lifestyle. Every decision, from raw material to finished product tells a story of passion, beauty, and craftsmanship.
Materials
Leather
Leather lies at the heart of Mariella Martinato’s story. After years of collaboration with international luxury brands, the company developed its own collection of leather goods. Only high-quality leathers are selected and handcrafted into bags, wallets, pouches, beauty cases, and small accessories with refined, functional design.
🌳 Wood
Wood is chosen for its natural elegance and durability. Selected species include:
• American Walnut
• Ebony
• Wenge
• Zebrano
• Italian Olive
• Briar Root
• Fossil Wood
These precious woods are used to create brush handles, razors, boxes, and other accessories—each unique, thanks to the wood’s natural grain.
Galalith
Galalith is a remarkable material made from milk casein. With a silky texture, elegant appearance, and sustainable nature, it revives a forgotten, centuries-old technique with enduring charm.
Horn
A passion for horn was born from a historic collaboration with a master craftsman. This natural material is shaped into combs, brush handles, and decorative items. Every piece is one of a kind, thanks to the horn’s unique and organic marbling.
Bamboo and Malacca
For select accessories, natural materials like bamboo and malacca cane (rattan) are used. Light yet sturdy, they add an exotic and elegant touch that blends seamlessly with the brand’s sophisticated design.

How to Use Shoe Brushes: A Guide to the Art of Shoe Care
by Mariella Martinato s.a.s.
Every shoe deserves proper care. Shoe brushes are not just accessories — they are essential tools for preserving the beauty, longevity, and elegance of your footwear.
In this guide, we explain how to choose and use brushes correctly, to truly honour the quality of your wardrobe.
1. Which brush should you use?
Not all brushes are the same. Here are the main types:
• Polishing Brush
Made with soft bristles, often in horsehair. Used to apply and polish creams or waxes.
✔ Ideal for smooth leather shoes.
• Cleaning Brush
Features stiffer bristles (sometimes in natural fibre). Removes dust, dirt, and dried mud.
✔ Perfect before any polishing.
• Detailing Brush
Small and easy to handle, designed to reach seams, edges, and hard-to-clean areas.
✔ Great for elegant or handcrafted shoes.
• Suede or Nubuck Brush
Made from crepe rubber or with brass inserts. Designed to lift the nap of suede without damaging it.
✔ Never use on smooth leather.
2. How do you clean a shoe with a brush?
Step 1: Initial cleaning
Use a stiff brush to remove dust or dry dirt. Work in firm yet gentle strokes, following the natural direction of the leather.
Step 2: Applying cream or wax
Using a soft brush or cloth, apply a small amount of cream. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes.
Step 3: Polishing
With a dry, soft brush, polish the shoe using quick, light movements. The shine will appear naturally — no need to press.
💡 Extra Tips from Mariella Martinato
• Don’t use the same brush for different colors: dark creams can leave residues on light leathers.
• Clean the soles and edges too: the difference is in the details.
• Brush often, polish less: the brush is your shoe’s daily friend; wax is for occasional treatment.
Why choose Mariella Martinato handcrafted brushes?
Each brush is handmade in Italy, using natural materials and meticulous attention to detail.
They are timeless objects, designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship and things done properly.

How to Shave with a Razor: The Ultimate Guide to a Perfect Shave
By Mariella Martinato S.a.s.
Shaving with a traditional razor is much more than a simple daily gesture — it’s an act of care, elegance, and self-respect. Learning how to do it properly means taking the time, choosing the right tools, and appreciating the quality of fine materials.
In this guide, we’ll walk you step by step through achieving a flawless shave using either a safety razor or a straight razor, in line with the finest tradition.
🔹 Why Choose a Traditional Razor?
A traditional razor is not just a tool. It represents:
• Greater precision
• Kindness to your skin
• Sustainability (no disposable plastic)
Step-by-Step: How to Shave Properly
1. Prepare Your Skin
Apply a warm towel to your face for 1–2 minutes. This softens the beard and opens the pores.
2. Prepare the Lather
Use a Mariella Martinato shaving brush. Soak the brush in warm water, load it with shaving soap or cream, and create a rich lather directly on your face or in a shaving bowl.
3. Start Shaving
• Hold the razor at about a 30-degree angle to your skin.
• Shave with the grain, following the natural direction of hair growth.
• Use short, gentle strokes without applying excessive pressure.
4. Second Pass (Optional)
For a closer shave, you can do a second pass against the grain, but only after reapplying lather.
5. Rinse and Soothe the Skin
Rinse your face with cold water to close the pores. Apply a quality aftershave to nourish and soothe the skin.
🪒 Tips for the Perfect Shave
• Take your time — never rush.
• Change the blade regularly.
• Keep your tools clean and dry after every use.
• Invest in high-quality products — they make a real difference both for your skin and for the longevity of your tools.
