Floto Venezia Women's Saddle Bag Crossbody Shoulder Bag Handbag

Floto was established in 2003 after Joe Floto brought back a leather travel bag from Italy and noticed that everywhere he went with it people asked - "where did you get that bag"? We specialize in Italian hand stained leather which is metal free, sustainable, and not harmful to people. This centuries old Tuscan tanning tradition produces colorful leather that is easy to craft and gets better with age. Creating new styles out of supple full grain leather brings us to the workshop everyday with a smile.

Floto Travel Bags Always arrive in style. Floto Handbags - From saddle bags to hobos - we have over 50 styles to choose from. Floto Minis - Shop our selection of mini clutches and handbags. Floto Backpacks - Our women's backpacks are both stylish and functional. Floto Briefcases - Shop our fine selection of women's briefcases and work bags. Matching Wallets - We make women's wallets in the same leather as our handbags.

On average a Floto leather bag will pass through 28 different work benches at our factory in Florence, Italy: cutting, skiving, gluing, sanding, painting, internal assembly, hand stitching, riveting, etc. - enough to make your head spin. Along the way take pride in our work. We work hard but we also find time to laugh and appreciate life. We arrive at work early, but we take a long lunch and nap. We work into the evening and then drink wine and eat pasta for dinner. This is what it takes to produce a Floto bag; and this is the typical day at our factory.

Venezia Saddle Bag is made with full grain leather. The calfskin leather for this bag was vegetable tanned in Tuscany to create rich color tones while the semi gloss finish helps prevent stains. Our 8 oz cotton duck canvas lining is made in South Carolina and very durable. The combination of Italian vegetable tanned leather, Italian craftsmanship, and U.S. made canvas lining make our leather handbags high quality and lightweight.

The interior of the Venezia Saddle Bag has a zip pocket and a multi-function / smartphone pocket. The Venezia Saddle Bag has a built-in shoulder strap that adjusts from 42" - 46". All Floto leather bags are handcrafted in Florence, Italy by skilled artisans practicing techniques handed down for generations. The slow process of tanning Floto leather uses natural vegetable tannins with total respect for nature. Our raw leather skins are a byproduct of the food industry and our tanning waste is reused in other supply chains. Artisans in the hills of Tuscany carefully hand stain each Floto leather skin by using a special cotton sponge and non-toxic vegetable based stain.

Floto is an American brand. Every Floto leather bag is artisan made in Italy, but it was designed and packaged in the United States. As a small family owned company we are thankful and grateful for your business. We stand by all of our products to ensure you can enjoy them as much as we do. If you experience any problems with your Floto bag during its natural life you can send it to our Connecticut workshop for repair. Please let us know if we can be of any help along the way.
