Shanti Ganesha opens her "Meracu" shop in Venice in 2022. Her mother is Venetian and her father is Indian and for the first ten years of her life as an Artisan she lived in India and then moved to Venice where she studied at the Art School. After completing her studies she begins to travel the world between India, New Zealand, Australia and Scotland. She learns to work leather while she lives in Trieste but it is during the pandemic that the Artisan begins to sell her creations online, creations made exclusively of vegetable tanned leather from the Italian Genuine Leather Consortium.
