Antonini soft leathergoods are made in a small village in the hills outside of Florence.
They use only the finest quality italian calf leather which is a buttery-soft, supple leather in gorgeous colours. Antonini are true specialists in this unique form of small leathergoods construction, using little or no linings and hand-turning the edges of each piece of leather. As well as the softness, we love the beautiful colours and of course, the fact that they are still made by the Antonini family in such a lovely part of the world.
It really is a family firm - with the second generation now involved, based in a beautiful village, with their workshop at the back of the family house, horses out in the paddock, and hills all around. We have visited the workshop many times, and though there is not much English spoken by the older generation, and our Italian is quite rudimentary, it is really a pleasure to know the Antonini family and to have their beautiful products in our stores.
