Hand-Woven Leather Bags: Our “Zero Waste” Manifesto

Marcella and Pouria making their unique leather woven bags in their leather store in the heart of Florence.

At Florencia, we believe that beauty and sustainability can share the same thread. Our hand-woven leather bags transforms leftover leather into something extraordinary.

Each leftover piece is cut into delicate “loops” and woven by hand into intricate textures/patterns: soft, durable, and unique. This slow process became our “Zero Waste Manifesto.”

Die-cutting small leather loops from leftover leather requires significant time and manual effort, as each loop must be individually hand-pressed with precision.

Once we have a variety of leather loops cut from different leather textures and colours, we begin the unique hand-weaving process, following the specific bag shape we designed. This stage is especially precious to us, as it ensures that each bag is one of a kind as the mix of leather leftovers (which differ every time) naturally influences the final colour composition and texture. We are both deeply involved in this process and take great pride in every piece we create ❤️

Hand-Woven Leather "Rainbow" Bag

This unique “Rainbow” bag style has become very popular as many customers fall in love with its uniqueness at first sight. It features a comfortable shoulder strap and a top zip closure for added security. The upper part is hand-sewn, making this bag not only hand-woven but also hand-stitched, a truly rare piece that we are proud to craft ethically in our leather workshop in the heart of Florence. We invite you to visit our store just steps from the Duomo or explore the collection online :) www.florenciastore.it Google Map Link: https://share.google/juOexughdIwGHbr8E
