Italian Leather

Renowned for producing the world’s finest leathers, Italy’s leather industry dates back to the 12th century and the first leather guilds! Much has changed (it was all vegetable tanning back then) but the tradition lives on. Visit Tuscany and the Florence leather district to find exquisite leather goods showcased on the runways of Paris. If it is fine upholstery leather you seek, head northwest to the Veneto region, home to Venice and the small town of Arzignano. Here you will find tanneries that have been family-owned for generations (including our tannery partners), that marry age-old traditions with modern technology to produce stunning upholstery leathers that range from vintage to “on-trend.”
