Italian Leather Doctor Bag Handbag Carryon

How did Floto, a brand known for its exquisite leather goods, begin? In 2003, Joe Floto returned from Italy with a leather travel bag that caught everyone's attention. This sparked the idea to start Floto, specializing in Italian hand-stained leather that is metal-free, sustainable, and non-harmful. The centuries-old Tuscan tanning tradition creates vibrant leather that only gets better with time.

Floto offers a wide range of products, from travel bags to handbags and backpacks. With over 50 styles to choose from, including mini clutches and wallets made with the same quality leather as the handbags. Each Floto leather bag goes through 28 different workbenches at the factory in Florence, Italy, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship put into every piece.

A typical day at Floto involves hard work, laughter, and appreciation for life. The artisans arrive early, work diligently on each bag, take a long lunch break and nap, and end the day with wine and pasta. This lifestyle is essential to producing the superior quality Floto is known for.

One of Floto's standout products is the Ciabatta Bag, inspired by a vintage doctor bag and crafted with full-grain vegetable-tanned calfskin leather. The bag features brass or silver finish hardware, protective metal feet, durable cotton duck canvas lining, and an inside zip pocket. Handcrafted in Italy, the Ciabatta Bag is a testament to Floto's commitment to old-world craft methods and high-quality leather goods.

Floto takes pride in its sustainable practices, using natural vegetable tannins in the slow tanning process and reusing tanning waste in other supply chains. As an American brand, Floto ensures that each leather bag is artisan-made in Italy while being designed and packaged in the United States. They stand behind their products and offer repair services in their Connecticut workshop to ensure customer satisfaction.
