La Cuoieria was born more than 30 years ago, from an idea of Mr. Gianni Raineri and his wife Mrs. Pina Romeo. Producing up-to-date design articles through working and finishing techniques typical of the old Sicilian saddlers, they have been carrying out an accurate research in the old workshops which led to rediscover the ancient hand-sewed stiches called “passi” and other disappearing manufacture techniques. The twenty year´s experience have made such working procedures the base of their production together with the use of the Tuscan leather called “vacchetta”. The vacchetta´s tanning is made following ancient procedures, using natural essences by body and bark of different trees(mimosa, chestnut, myrobalan, etc.). At present this firm works both on the national market, where it appears in several qualified selling points, and on many other markets inside and outside the European Community. Their products come from the joining of “Made in Italy” creative design, the constant research of materials, the knowledge and the respect of our traditional working processes.
