Meeting point and tour introduction. We dive into the history of Florentine leather, learn essential tests to spot real vs. fake leather, and watch authentic videos of the traditional tanning process — building your knowledge foundation before stepping into any workshop.

Step inside a monumental institution where world leaders and Hollywood icons source their leather. You will handle rare animal skins, learn to identify distinct leather grades, and view heritage antique pieces used by the global elite.

Exclusive private access to a multi-generational leather atelier in Santa Croce. Step inside the artisans' private workshop, view limited-edition pieces unavailable in the storefront, learn traditional techniques used to craft signature products, and speak directly with master artisans about their craft. Browse pre-season collection pieces accessible only through this private tour. (Note: Photography strictly prohibited at this stop to protect proprietary designs.)

Experience deep local immersion inside a tiny workshop run by an Italian couple who hand-craft 100% of their stock. Enjoy interactive demonstrations of their historic craft and explore unique, unimaginable items made entirely of leather.

Tour concludes with personal recommendations, final shopping tips, and the opportunity to ask any remaining questions about authentic Florentine leather.
