Discover the essence of sustainable luxury on our exclusive Florentine leather craft tour, designed to immerse you in zero-waste craftsmanship. The guided walking tour leads you through the atmospheric Oltrarno district, the historic epicentre of textile mastery where the legacy of wool, silk, and leather first established Florence as a global power in the Middle Ages.
The experience begins in the vibrant neighbourhoods of San Frediano and Santo Spirito, the city’s most authentic artisan quarter. Moving between traditional workshops, you will encounter the living history of ancient trades. From intricate wood carving and ceramics to the timeless art of leather working, you will experience a side of Florence where true passion for handmade quality still thrives amidst hidden squares and the scent of workshop varnish.
The tour continues at the prestigious Piero Tucci Boutique, set within the historic Palazzo Gondi. After a welcoming drink, our creative masterclass begins, focusing on sustainability and high-end design. Under the guidance of master artisans, you will transform raw leather scraps into a bespoke accessory. You will hand select your materials and assemble a piece that is uniquely yours, watching the magic of the craft unfold firsthand.
By the end of this workshop, you will have created a personalized memory of Florence to take home with you, blending tradition and conscious craftsmanship.
