Florentine Artisans and Made in Italy: The Generational Know-How
Florentine artisans are the purest expression of handmade leather production and traditional Italian know-how, standing as the emblem of Made in Italy leather bags. When we talk about this type of traditional craftsmanship, we can associate it with the label “Made in family”. This alternative way of describing Made in Italy highlights how the excellence of handcrafted Italian leather products is often rooted in family-run leather workshops and long-standing expertise. In our case, this means that technical knowledge and passion for leather working are passed down from generation to generation, ensuring continuity in both tradition and quality. Florentine artisans, much like those from across Italy, create handcrafted Italian leather bags that respect tradition while embracing innovation. In Italy, craftsmanship is not simply a form of work — it is a culture in itself, clearly distinct from industrial production. The careful attention dedicated to every single detail and the deep passion that drives Italian leather artisans make artisanal leather production one of the most highly regarded and valued fields in the country. It is no coincidence that, thanks to this distinctive approach, Florentine artisans have played a key role in shaping what is now recognized worldwide as the Made in Italy brand.
Made in Italy represents not just a geographical origin, but a true symbol of excellence that reaches markets all over the world. Italian artisans create objects that stand out for their unique sense of taste, balance, and refinement — products that carry a human touch, shaped by experience and creativity. Being able to label a product as Made in Italy is therefore essential for traditional workshops and family-run businesses like ours — Infinity Florence. At its peak (2021–2022), Florence exported between €3.4 and €4.2 billion worth of artisanal leather goods per year, accounting for 33% to 42% of Italy’s total leather goods exports. It is a mark that still today signifies the utmost quality, distinguishing itself on the international scene as a synonym for elegance, sophistication, excellence, careful material selection, and exclusivity. After all, we firmly believe it isn’t necessary to own a designer-label bag when you can choose a handcrafted Italian leather bag — made with care, patience, and true artisanal skill. A product that tells a story, made not by machines, but by hands guided by tradition and passion.
Our handmade bags at Infinity Florence offer an excellent quality/price ratio. They cost less than big-brand leather bags, yet they are crafted with the utmost care, and the best premium-selected materials, like Full Grain and Vegetable Tanned leather made individually one by one, allowing every detail to be thoughtfully refined. Each piece is created using excellent quality materials, carefully selected to ensure durability year after year.
These handcrafted bags are designed to be versatile, adapting effortlessly to any style or occasion. In short, there are many reasons to choose a handmade leather bag — from the uniqueness of each piece to supporting those who have turned their passion for leather craftsmanship into a lifelong commitment of loyalty, dedication, and perseverance. Through this, the beauty and authenticity of Made in Italy craftsmanship continue to live on, spreading across the world and standing the test of time.
