Made in Empoli - for life in Russia

Many Russian travelers have already chosen their own "piece" of Tuscany for themselves. Some people like the leaning tower of Pisa, others like the beauty of Siena and San Gimignano. Some are looking for peace in the Val d'Orcia, while others are looking for fun in the seaside area of ​​Versilia. Some cannot live without a regatta around the islands of the Tuscan archipelago, while others - without the museums of Florence.

But few people have heard about the city of Empoli, and even more so they have been to it. But it is here that over the past hundred years numerous factories have been operating, producing top-class outerwear. Moreover, in the district, both the factories themselves and the accompanying production of textiles, fur, leather, and accessories are concentrated.

The Nipal factory, founded in 1972, is a family business following an old Italian tradition. She deals with several lines of seasonal wardrobe, one of the main ones is the AFG brand, which has come to the taste of Russians. All collections of this brand are made strictly in Empoli by craftsmen who skillfully combine manual labor with the latest sewing technology.

You don't have to go to Empoli to buy AFG products - they are available at any time of the year in the PokupkaLux online store. And not to get confused and find the right thing in the presented range of products will help you with an extraordinary photo project by Natalia Volkonskaya "Made in Empoli - for life in Russia".

The metropolitan photo artist clearly proves that Italian jackets, raincoats and down jackets look great in our socio-climatic conditions. It is enough to put them on - and you can mentally find yourself in your beloved Tuscany with its measured way of life and a feeling of everyday happiness. And the reasons for joy both in Empoli and in Moscow are the same: it can be delicious carbonara paste, colorful balloons, walks along the streets of your beloved city, a bottle of good wine and fashionable new items in juicy colors. Smile at your reflection in the mirror, despite all the difficulties of life in a huge, always in a hurry metropolis!

But, sometimes, the frantic rhythms of a sleepless big city start to tire. For a respite, mental relaxation and finding inner harmony with yourself and the world around you, it is important to get out of the city more often and remain alone with nature. There you can breathe more freely, the air is fresh and healthy, there you can forget about iPhones and iPads and disconnect for a while from any information coming from outside. Live only for today, enjoy the first rays of the sun and its sunset, drizzling rain or snowfall, birdsong or the sound of the wind.

No wonder one of the co-owners of the AFG brand Piero Fontanelli admitted in a recent interview that he prefers to live in the countryside, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, four dogs and a pair of horses. After all, a horseback ride, in addition to joyful emotions, also carries the so-called hippotherapeutic effect, which has a beneficial effect on both the physical and psychological state of a person. If you want to make friends with these noble and strong animals, grab apples, sugar or carrots with you and wear comfortable, comfortable clothing.

And here down-padded coats and jackets from the AFG autumn-winter collection will come in handy! The company carefully studied the peculiarities of the Russian climate and enriched the initial set of materials such as rabbit and muton fur with the latest developments in the fashion industry: sterilized goose down, polyester with water-repellent and windproof impregnation, and specially made genuine leather. That is, I did literally everything to make you feel comfortable and stylish in any conditions! And the colors from discreet gray and royal blue to elegant black and classic red will conquer connoisseurs of Italian taste in clothing.

The photo project "Made in Empoli - for life in Russia" captures the feeling of freedom that is so dear to the heart of the Russian people. Horseback riding is loved by businessmen and politicians, scientists and athletes, actors and socialites, because it gives clarity of thought and maintains a slim figure. And it doesn't matter where you are - on the cypress alleys of Tuscany or among the birches of the middle lane. The main thing is with whom: with a loved one or true friends.
