Refined and simplified title: Floto Trastevere Leather Laptop Briefcase in Vecchio Brown

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?" This inspired the creation of the Floto brand.

What makes Floto's products unique is their specialization 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.

The team at Floto finds joy in creating new styles out of supple full-grain leather, bringing them to the workshop every day with a smile. The Duomo Briefcase, for example, is inspired by the iconic Duomo in Florence, built 700 years ago. While the Duomo Briefcase may not last that long, Floto assures that it will last a lifetime.

The Firenze Messenger is a classic silhouette made with full-grain leather and loaded with storage features, while the Salerno Shoulder Bag allows you to look professional at the office and stylish around town.

Floto's Milano Brief, one of their original styles from 2003, is timeless and sophisticated. The Firenze Shoulder Pack, on the other hand, is a casual daypack that is cool-looking and has three zipper pockets for ample storage.

On average, a Floto leather bag will pass through 28 different workbenches at their factory in Florence, Italy, including cutting, skiving, gluing, sanding, painting, internal assembly, hand stitching, and riveting. This meticulous process is what it takes to produce a Floto bag, and it's all done with pride, laughter, and an appreciation for life.

The Trastevere Brief, for example, is made with full-grain vegetable-tanned calfskin leather and brass or stainless steel hardware. This leather was hand-tanned Etruscan style in the heart of Tuscany, using only vegetable extracts and natural oils to create a rich, vibrant color and a tender, semi-gloss finish. The combination of Italian vegetable-tanned leather, Italian craftsmanship, and U.S.-made canvas lining makes the Trastevere Briefcase beautiful, durable, and lightweight.

Floto's mission is to refine old-world craft methods to make superior, high-quality leather goods. As an American brand, Floto leather bags are artisan-made in Italy, but designed and packaged in the United States. Floto stands by all of their products and offers repair services if any issues arise during the natural life of the bag.
