Floto Blue Calfskin Leather Boston Bag

Floto's Journey and Unique Offerings

Established in 2003, Floto came to life when Joe Floto returned from Italy with a remarkable leather travel bag that drew admiration wherever he went. This experience sparked the beginning of Floto, renowned for its distinctive products crafted from Italian hand-stained leather. This leather, a product of centuries-old Tuscan tanning traditions, not only boasts vibrant colors but is also metal-free, sustainable, and harmless to individuals. The allure of crafting supple full-grain leather into new styles brings our team joy each day in our workshop.

A Day at Floto

A typical day at our Florence factory involves meticulous craftsmanship. Each Floto leather bag passes through 28 different workstations, including cutting, skiving, gluing, hand-stitching, and more. Despite the intense work, we maintain a balance, finding moments to laugh and appreciate life. Our days start early, with a leisurely lunch and nap to recharge, before continuing into the evening. Evenings conclude with wine and pasta, embodying the Italian spirit integral to our craftsmanship.

The Floto Philosophy

At Floto, we are committed to refining age-old craft methods to create superior leather goods. Our Boston Bag exemplifies this dedication, crafted from full-grain calfskin leather that undergoes vegetable tanning in Tuscany. This process ensures rich color tones and a semi-gloss finish that resists stains. The interior features durable 8 oz cotton duck canvas lining, made in South Carolina, and includes a smartphone pocket, zip pocket, and multi-function pockets for convenience.

Craftsmanship and Sustainability

All Floto leather bags are meticulously handmade in Italy by skilled artisans who uphold traditions passed down through generations. We prioritize sustainability by using natural vegetable tannins that respect the environment. Our leather is sourced as a byproduct of the food industry, and our tanning process is free from harmful metals. Waste from our tanning process is repurposed within other supply chains, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Commitment to Quality

As an American brand rooted in Italian craftsmanship, Floto stands by the quality of our products. Each bag is artisan-made in Florence and designed and packaged in the United States. We are a small, family-owned business deeply appreciative of our customers' support. We guarantee the quality of our products and offer repair services at our Connecticut workshop to ensure your Floto bag lasts a lifetime.
