On the occasion of Milano Unica, ACM, a Bergamo-based leader in the production of high-end fashion accessories, unveils an exclusive capsule collection created in collaboration with Federico Barengo, designer and co-founder of Garment Workshop. Following the success of their first joint project for Denim Première Vision, Barengo returns to work alongside ACM’s creative team and its NextPrinting division. Together, they explore new expressive possibilities of digital printing on leather, giving life to a project that merges stylistic vision with artisanal excellence.
At Milano Unica, ACM presents a belt collection that showcases the company’s fully integrated in-house supply chain. From leather cutting to metal detailing, every component is crafted internally at the production hub in Grumello del Monte, reinforcing ACM’s positioning as a trusted partner for brands seeking quality, precision, and customization at every stage of the creative process.
The collaboration includes three belt designs, each crafted to highlight both the designer’s creative vision and the advanced technologies available within the ACM Group. Two models revisit the trompe l’oeil denim graphics introduced in the previous collaboration, now reimagined on leather with bleach-washed and dark denim-e ect finishes. These are enriched with distinctive details such as double-needle and sashiko-style stitching, western buckles, and metal loops. The third model, crafted from tan leather with ecru stitching, stands out for its vintage silver studs and turquoise-set bezels, a tribute to ACM’s expertise and craftsmanship in high-end accessory customization.
Alongside the capsule, ACM unveils its Vision and Aurea collections for Autumn/Winter 26/27, dedicated respectively to premium fashion and luxury leather goods accessories. Drawing inspiration from the moods Refined Luxury, Bond to Earth, and Opulence, the collections explore new material narratives. These range from the understated elegance of hammered metals and pearlescent finishes to the authenticity of regenerated materials and functional details, and the expressive boldness of rhinestones, metallic florals, and embedded pearls.
At booth A04/A06, NextPrinting also showcases its latest digital innovations on fabric and leather. From shirting to denim, technical fabrics to beachwear and home textiles, its pigment and transfer printing technologies, enhanced by customized finishing treatments, unlock new creative possibilities. The approach is both high-performing and responsible, reducing resource consumption while ensuring premium results.
