Boldrini selleria was founded in a little town, called Chiesina Uzzanese, by Scandiano Boldrini in 1955. His idea was to create a workshop with high-quality and timeless production to represent the craftsmanship of Tuscan artisans. This love and passion for business and craftsmanship was passeddown to Luca Boldrini, Scandiano’s son. He together with a highly qualified team continues to create luxury leather goods for its customers to this day, using only vachetta leather from the nearby tannery Santa Croce sull’Arno. Vachetta leather is a type of full-grain leather, it is vegetable tanned and made of cow hides. it is particularly distinguished by its high fat content and natural, almost untreated finish. This means that thanks to a special process of tanning you receive an aged leather that develops its own distinctive patina over time and use, thus becoming even more unique and beautiful over the Boldrini selleria stands for: design, selected materials, care for details, certified vegetable-tanned leather and HANDMADE IN TUSCANY.

The Pratesi story started back in 1948, when after the Second World War Egidio Pratesi had an opportunity to start working as a costume designer and tailored a number of costumes for Quo Vadis, a famous American film set in ancient Rome. After this, Egidio Pratesi decided to continue his activity as an artisan making small leather goods. Pratesi’s success was growing, so soon he decided to set up a proper workshop, where he could continue making small leather goods, but also handbags. Over the years the company has constantly sought to improve its products as well as increase volume of production in both plain and full-grain leather.
