Piero Tucci, created a group of artisans who excelled in their craft and in 1972 officially established the Pierotucci Italian Leather Workshop. Their mission was to produce quality leather bags and small leather goods such as wallets, gloves and belts. As his reputation grew the company began to produce not only their own designs but also those of others such as Dunhill, Bally, Valentino, Fratelli Rossetti, Cole-Haan and Hugo Boss. Their distinctly elegant styled creations were the mainstay collection for boutiques serving the local and tourist shoppers all over Italy. Piero and his wife Loretta opened their first boutique in 1974 at via Porta Rossa with a complete line of ladies leather handbags, men’s accessories and more.
In 1985 the Tucci family moved the workshop to larger accommodations, where the craftsmen had the space to create their magic. The Pierotucci workshop covers every aspect of the production. Their team has always included expert leather cutters as well as craftsmen and women who have learned the antique traditions of prepping, sealing and buffing the pattern pieces for assembling bags, wallets and purses. The Pierotucci workshop proudly carries on a tradition of Made in Italy taking great care that each component of the handbags, business bags, wallets and accessories are sourced locally in Italy. From the tanned leather to the decorative hardware, they are all branded Made in Italy.
Piero, his wife and first born opened the Pierotucci Leather Showroom on April 1994 right next to the workshop, creating a one of a kind shopping experience. Now we have visitors who can choose from a wide selection of handcrafted leather bags, accessories and more while they walk among the craftsman and watch them assemble these very items. Today, tourists from all over the world take guided tours in English, Japanese, Indonesian, Maylasian, Thai, Chinese, Russian and Italian.
