Le Bretagne Leather

Le Bretagna Leather – Artisan Craftsmanship from the Heart of Tuscany

Established in 1961 in Tuscany, Italy, Conceria La Bretagna is a family-owned tannery renowned for its commitment to tradition, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility. Still operated by the founding Testi family, this distinguished tannery specializes in premium 100% vegetable-tanned leather, blending age-old techniques with a modern vision for sustainability.

A Legacy of Natural Tanning

At the core of La Bretagna’s philosophy is vegetable tanning, one of the oldest, most environmentally respectful leather tanning methods. Using only natural tannins derived from trees and plants, the process not only preserves the integrity of the hide but also produces leather that ages beautifully, acquiring a rich patina over time. With an ethos focused on ecological impact, this leather is free from harmful chemicals, chromium, and synthetic finishes — a true celebration of slow-made, earth-conscious craftsmanship.

Sustainably Tanned, Built to Last

Le Bretagna’s leathers are a testament to Italian craftsmanship, rooted in tradition and shaped by values of sustainability, longevity, and natural beauty. Each hide carries subtle variations in tone and grain, ensuring that every finished product is one of a kind.

This is leather that tells a story — from the Tuscan countryside to your hands.
