Floto Bag Ingredients
At Floto we make over 300 styles of travel bags, briefcases, handbags, and accessories. We prefer to work with genuine hand stained vegetable tanned leather. The supple skin has a sweet scent, is easy to cut and sand, strong and flexible, and does not contain any toxic or harmful substances. We only source our hand stained leather from family tanneries in Tuscany that abide by tradition and strictly monitor the production to minimize the impact on the environment. The raw skins come from small meat and dairy farms in America and Europe that have high moisture content - this is because the hand stain process only works with supple leather. A drier, more brittle leather does not absorb the vegetable tannins as well and is not worth the artisan effort put into hand staining.
