About Us

Built by two friends who fell in love with supercars.

We are Daan and Luca, two friends from Amsterdam, 28 and 29 years old, who grew up obsessing over cars. Not just any cars. The ones parked outside the Casino de Monte-Carlo at two in the morning. The ones gliding past the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich on a Saturday afternoon. The ones you hear before you see them on the streets of London's Mayfair.

What started as a shared hobby turned into something bigger than either of us expected. We built Instagram accounts dedicated to supercar photography, travelling across Europe on the tightest of budgets, sleeping in cheap hostels, splitting the cost of fuel, eating gas station sandwiches, just so we could be there when the light hit a LaFerrari at golden hour, or catch a Bugatti Chiron rolling out of a Geneva hotel. At our peak, our combined following reached hundreds of thousands of people who shared the same obsession.

But what always struck us most was never just the cars themselves. It was the details. The stitching on the steering wheel. The way the dashboard caught the light. The texture of the material under your fingertips. It was the Alcantara®.

That ultra-soft, suede-like material lining the cockpits of the world's most desirable cars, from Ferrari and Lamborghini to Porsche and McLaren, is made from genuine Italian Alcantara®, manufactured in a single facility in Nera Montoro, Umbria, Italy. It is carbon-neutral, vegan, and extraordinarily tactile. Once you touch it, everything else feels ordinary.

Luca studied Automotive Technology at Eindhoven University of Technology, one of Europe's leading technical universities and home to the only automotive engineering programme of its kind in the Netherlands. He spent years studying how materials, systems, and technology come together inside a vehicle, and that obsession with engineering and detail became the foundation for what we wanted to build.

The idea was simple: why should Alcantara® only exist inside a €300,000 supercar? We wanted to bring that same material, the real thing, officially licensed from Alcantara S.p.A. in Italy, into everyday life. Starting with the thing you hold in your hand more than anything else: your phone.

We designed every Alcanstrada case from scratch. Precision-cut to fit your exact model. Raised edges to protect your screen and camera. Metal buttons that click the way they should. And that unmistakable soft texture that makes every other phone case feel like an afterthought.

We are not a big corporation. We are two guys from Amsterdam who genuinely care about what we make and who we make it for. Every product we ship, we stand behind completely, which is why we offer a 100-day return policy and a 2-year warranty on everything.

If you share our love for the finer details, we think you're going to love what we've built.
