The
Collection

Christine & Pascucci 1826 is the result of an unexpected encounter—one that transforms tradition into a living, evolving art form. Each piece in the collection carries the weight of history and the pulse of the present, a bold statement of identity and craftsmanship. Prints speak through a language of signs, color, and mastery, telling stories that go beyond fashion.
The materials are chosen with intention, honoring sustainability and excellence. Recycled fabrics—linen, hemp, cotton, and silk—become the canvas for designs that are unrepeatable, shaped by the ancient techniques of Stamperia Pascucci, active since 1826. This commitment to authenticity and innovation gives each garment a soul, making the collection not just wearable, but deeply expressive.
Born from the meeting of Stamperia Pascucci and Christine Joan Johnson, Christine & Pascucci 1826 is a testament to the power of collaboration. Tradition is not merely preserved but elevated, transformed into a medium for self-expression. Through the meticulous technique of block printing, every pattern is distinct, every creation a singular work of art. This is more than a collection—it is a bridge between heritage and the contemporary, a celebration of individuality through timeless craftsmanship.

Christine Joan Johnson

Creative director, writer, visual artist and events manager with an extensive experience in implementing and promoting a broad range of projects, from conception through launch, in various industries including fashion, art, music and entertainment. Since the times of her BA at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, the concept of sustainability has always been her lifestyle attitude, which has permeated most of her past work projects. More recently, she has been focusing on one of her biggest challenges ever: bringing together the mission of giving new life to unsold clothing with a powerful vision she had during a visit to Pascucci’s workshop: how would it be to tell the story of this century old craftsmanship on “Upcycle” garments, turning them into unique storytelling pieces of art?

Pascucci A Legacy of Artisanal Printing

Since 1826, the Pascucci family’s workshop in Gambettola (Italy) has embraced the timeless art of woodcut printing. Hand-carved pear wood matrices, soaked in vibrant pastes, adorn linen fabrics with geometric, floral and animal motifs, weaving tales of rich iconography. As the custodians of this craft for seven generations, the Pascucci family harmoniously preserves tradition and welcomes innovation. Their premises stand witness to the birth of unique products, distinguished by meticulous attention, care and originality. By the late 19th century, printed canvases adorned livestock at fairs, ensuring the art’s survival. With the rise of beach tourism, printing found new life in beach tents.
