In the ’60s, the beauty of Luisa and her thick hair make her the face of Positano’s new tailor’s. Her future as an entrepreneur was born in 1969, the result of the experience gathered and the desire to work in the field of Positano Fashion. After learning the tradition of handmade work, Luisa first started selling her craft works and then extending the sale giving job opportunities to other local artisans.
