Old Angler's story starts in 1957, when a young Luciano Lucenti began working leather by hand in the heart of Florence.
The flood that devastated the city in 1966 took his original workshop with it, and Lucenti rebuilt in nearby Pontassieve, where the atelier still stands today.

In 1990, Lucenti's daughter Elisabetta and her husband Mario Bartolini joined him to formalize the business as Old Angler. The family kept the whole process in house, from full grain, vegetable tanned leather and traditional Florentine Cuoio to cutting and hand stitching under one roof rather than sending work out piece by piece.
By 1998 they were among the first Italian leather workshops to earn formal quality certification for it, a standard they still hold themselves to today.
