Tuscany Leather

Tuscany Leather is the export-facing brand of Rossotoscana, a Tuscan leather house built by the Altavilla family, who brought their background in marketing and international distribution to a craft that had mostly stayed local.

Production stays close to home: four factories across Tuscany turn out full grain and vegetable tanned leather goods, still cut and finished by hand, with in house engraving and personalization offered on request.

In 2011 the company won Unicredit's OK Italia prize, recognizing Tuscan businesses that carried the region's craft abroad. That's more or less still the mission: the same goods once sold only nearby now ship to customers in 190 countries.
