Founded in 2012 by designer Roberto Sacal, Bracaletti creates fine leather goods and jewelry, with its signature cuff links and bracelets joined by handbags and small leather accessories. Although Sacal and the company are based in New York, a Mexico City atelier remains Bracaletti’s center, where an extended team of artisans—including third-generation leather craftsmen—develops prototypes and handcrafts the collection. The label carries forward a family legacy in leather goods that began with Sacal’s father’s jewelry store and the former Casa Aries workshop.
