About

Who's behind it

When you buy a piece, you know who made it.

I'm Ehsan, I live in Milan and I was born in Persia. Bottega Persia started from a simple idea: bring to Italy small handmade objects from women artisans and home workshops, and get a fair income back to them.

No warehouse and no middlemen. We choose each piece one by one, together with my family, and I deliver them myself whenever I can.
