What is Italian Leather?
Today, Italy is home to numerous top-tier tanneries that produce a diverse range of leathers, from chrome-tanned to vegetable-tanned varieties.
Italian leather is synonymous with quality, combining centuries-old experience with modern innovations to produce the finest leather. Italy has solidified its reputation as one of the premier sources of fine leather goods worldwide. From fashion accessories and footwear to furniture and automotive interiors, Italian leather continues to set the standard.
Italy's leather craftsmanship boasts a rich heritage dating back to the 8th century BC and continues to thrive today, particularly in regions like Tuscany, Veneto, and Campania. Known for its long-standing tanning traditions, Italy remains a hub for leather production, where artisanal knowledge is passed down through generations. This deep-rooted tradition, combined with constant innovation, ensures that Italian leather continues to represent excellence in both quality and design.
