This started as a joke

Now we make coasters and dominoes people actually want.

Bones & Bases was born from the idea that simple things should still go hard.
Coasters? Make ’em cool.
Dominoes? Give ’em some style.
It’s that simple.


We use laser tech, quality materials, and a bit of stubborn creativity to make stuff we’d actually want in our homes. Nothing mass-produced. Nothing boring. Just good design, solid vibes, and clean finishes. If you're here for game night, gifting, or just want to flex your setup — welcome.
We’re glad you're here.

The NINO Ladies

We're Monica Rossi and Annabelle James, and we're obsessed with shoes and bags. That's why we decided to create a brand of our own. We partner with experienced fashion designers and family-owned factories from Milan, Italy. We try to use locally sourced materials whenever possible.

While many brands claim to handmade their shoes in Italy, they often only assemble the shoes there, and send them off overseas for the stitching and final touches. Our entire collection is manufactured in Italy from start to finish!

Who runs this?

One person. For now. Probably drinking cold brew and sanding something.

Where it's made?

Texas. Lasers, Saws. Built with care.

Why the name?

Dominoes = bones. Coaster = bases. You get it.

Where we're now

Since 2019, the Nino ladies reside and work in Florence, Italy. It's where they can find the fashion inspiration they need to concoct a new collection, and where they can relax and practice the Italian way of living.
