About Claudia Firenze

Our story began in Florence way back in 1971... now fifty years ago! Vittorio is only 24 years old but he has already gained 10 years of experience as a cutter and feels that he has acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to create a company all his own. Without outside help, other than the enthusiasm and support of his very young wife Sonia, he decides to open his own business called Claudia, choosing the name of his 3-year-old daughter. It is a historic moment in which Italy, and Tuscany in particular, stand out for the production of vegetable tanned cowhide bags: a real cultural heritage of our territory. After achieving excellent results in Europe, America and Australia, while Italy gained world leadership in the fashion world, Vittorio decided to expand the range of models and materials. Claudia Firenze's bags are made with the newest leathers, and Vittorio adapts the structure and organization to the increasingly complex needs of foreign markets. It was a winning choice: the company expanded and at the end of the nineties his sons Claudia and Filippo joined Vittorio, who helped to form a winning synergy between acquired knowledge and a young and creative drive. In the last twenty-five years, Claudia Firenze has continued to grow and today she is perfectly embedded in the cultural and artisanal tradition of leather and leather processing in Tuscany.
