10.03.53 is a Parisian leather goods brand born from the tension between heritage and self‑liberation. Its name honors the birth date of founder Luca Colosimo’s father and transforms a family memory into a quiet declaration: “Thank you Dad, but I’m making my own way.”

Raised in Italy under discipline and tradition, Luca often heard his father say, “The only accessory a man should wear is his watch,” even as he longed to carry a bag. What was once forbidden now fuels a brand that celebrates difference and rejects categorization. Here, gender neutrality is not a trend but a space for freedom and self‑expression.

10.03.53 embraces radical elegance: intentional lines, no excess, and a fascination with unconventional materials; untreated leather, cellulose, concrete, industrial composites. Each piece becomes an organic sculpture where material turns into emotion.

After a decade designing for houses like Gucci, Paco Rabanne, and Isabel Marant, Luca founded 10.03.53 in 2020. The brand has since grown internationally, opening its first Paris store in 2023 and expanding to the Marais and Printemps Haussmann.
