I Medici Firenze line was founded in 1952 in Florence, Tuscany by the Florentine family that infused their masterpieces with the originality and centuries old technique. Incomparable design, timeless and inimitable in its practicality and craftsmanship, I Medici Firenze’s bags are not manufactured, these are hand crafted. Lavorazione Artigianale method is utilized for leather production – hand-made. I Medici Firenze has not compromised, but enhanced the traditional roots, passed on centuries ago, from father to son. Not only the leather is from the heart of Tuscany, Florence, everything from A to Z is completed in Tuscany including the hardware. The leather will only become more beautiful with wear and tear. From the long and patient working of the leather a unique, soft and durable product is created. The metamorphosis happens gradually, through a series of stages spanning about thirty days and ending with an innumerable variety of refining techniques, through which the tanners' knowledge and experience of the craft are elevated to a level of authentic artistic expression. The raw material transmutes into an inimitable material that, with time, becomes even more beautiful to see and touch. The secret of the vegetable tanned leather lies in the use of tannins, which are vegetable extracts, from the wood and trunk of chestnut and quebracho and mimosa. Such technique of leather craftsmanship is obsolete anywhere else but among the very few Italian leather artisans. I Medici Firenze found itself at the top of those few.
Low maintenance of your leather is ensured (no water proof chemicals or leather cleaners are necessary) – if you get caught in the rain while carrying one of our bags, just wipe it with a soft towel and leave it to air dry in a room temperature; if you scratch your bag – rub the scratch with your finger in a circular motion until the scratch disappears. All of our masterpieces have a lifetime warranty against the manufacturer’s defects of hardware and leather (extraordinary wear and tear is not covered by this warranty).
We are sure you will love and get noticed with I Medici Firenze brand for years to come.
