CRAFTSMANSHIP
At the heart of Studio Flo lies the leather district of Santa Croce sull’Arno, a historic tanning area located in Tuscany, between Florence and Pisa. For centuries, this region has been renowned for its mastery in vegetable and chrome tanning, supplying leather to the world’s leading luxury houses. Rooted in artisanal know-how and constant innovation, the district represents a unique balance between tradition, technology, and environmental responsibility. Studio Flo works exclusively with selected tanneries from this area, transforming their finest leathers into long-lasting bags, entirely made in Florence.

Raw hides are carefully selected and transformed through controlled, multi-step treatments that enhance softness, strength, and longevity. From soaking and tanning to dyeing and finishing, each phase is meticulously monitored to preserve the natural qualities of the leather while ensuring consistency and durability. This balance between traditional know-how and advanced techniques defines the district’s reputation and sets the foundation for the quality of every Studio Flo piece.

Tuscan leather craftsmanship is built on the value of the human hand. Behind every leather good is a manual process shaped by experience, sensitivity, and precision. From cutting to stitching, finishing, and assembly, artisans interpret the material through touch, guiding each step with care and intention. This culture of hand-made excellence has made Tuscany the world’s leading region for high-end leather goods, and it is the principle on which Studio Flo is founded.
