AUTHENTIC LEATHER, HANDMADE AND TANNED IN TUSCANY
Original Tuscany's products are made of handcrafted leather, tanned in S.Croce sull'Arno, near Florence, the cradle of a great leather manufacturing tradition. The leather, once accurately selected, is sectioned in two parts: the superficial part is called full grain leather, the one underneath is called crust.
The leather is then transformed into the finished product through tanning, which can be either vegetable, chemical or a mix of the two. Florence is renown for vegetable tanning: here over the centuries, the master tanners have perfected and passed on techniques which have originated in prehistory transforming rough leather into a refined one.
Then as today this system exploits the action of tannins, which are extracted from wood and chestnut, oak or mimosa leaves. The leathers rest for days, sometimes months, in drums or tanks, and are then dried and polished, to be finally ready to be finished. Most of Original Tuscany products are handcrafted and are available in a limited edition: the chosen model can be created on the fly and customized according to specific requests.
THESE ARE THE MAIN LEATHER TYPES AND TEXTURES WE DEAL WITH:
PYTON
Python leather is typical in the fashion industry and renown for its pleasant softness and sophistication. Its natural color shades enhanced by the hand paint and the scales' patterns make each python bag a unique and unrepeatable item.
COWHIDE
Cowhide leather's particular features are its thickness, varying from 0.9 mm to 8 mm, the light yet typical odor and its light color which tends to get darker over time.
SAFFIANO
The Saffiano leather texture has been created by Prada. It's made out of calf leather and it's characterized by a typical diagonal maze. After the pattern impression, the leather is waxed to make it waterproof and to prevent staining and scratching.

LEATHER
Leather is processed and made rot-proof and resistant, our suppliers use either vegetable or mixed tanned leather, the tannins contained in the leaves and wood confer both the resistance and durability and the typical brown color.
