Previous page How did we get our start? Floto was established in 2003 after Joe Floto brought back a leather travel bag from Italy and noticed that everywhere he went with it people asked - "where did you get that bag"? What makes our products unique? We specialize in Italian hand stained leather which is metal free, sustainable, and not harmful to people. This centuries old Tuscan tanning tradition produces colorful leather that is easy to craft and gets better with age. Why do we love what we do? Creating new styles out of supple full grain leather brings us to the workshop everyday with a smile.

Shop Women's Wallets Visit the Store The Typical Day at Floto On average a Floto leather bag will pass through 28 different work benches at our factory in Florence, Italy : cutting, skiving, gluing, sanding, painting, internal assembly, hand stitching, riveting, etc. - enough to make your head spin. Along the way take pride in our work. We work hard but we also find time to laugh and appreciate life. We arrive at work early, but we take a long lunch and nap. We work into the evening and then drink wine and eat pasta for dinner. This is what it takes to produce a Floto bag; and this is the typical day at our factory. Floto leather bags are handcrafted in Italy. Our mission is to refine old world craft methods to make superior, high quality leather goods. Next page
