The ancient tradition of Tuscan leather working is the basis of the work of the Raffa Fashion craftsmen.

Leather craftsmanship

A bag that is excellent in its design and materials results from a correct sequence of processes which only expert personnel can perform:

CAD design and development, or printing existing models sent by the customer with the plotter
hand cutting and shearing, with automatic cutting machines for large productions, managed by a specialized external partner
preparation, then thinning and stripping of the various pieces that make up the model
Gluing and trimming
Colour finishing by hand and machine, and oven drying
Stitching
Assembly by hand
Assembly of metal parts
Finishing and quality control of the finished product.
Packaging

Once these phases have been followed rigorously, the bag is ready to be shipped and finally worn.

Choosing a handmade bag means loving uniqueness and sometimes even small imperfections.

The hands of Raffa Fashion craftsmen are expert and used to treating the leather with care and precision: every movement, every cut, every seam is made with the utmost attention thanks to the deep knowledge of the material.

A Raffa bag represents classic Italian style and thanks to the use of fine leather it has advantages that are important to understand::

With its elegant design it will never go out of style
It has the quality of being long-lasting: a good leather bag can also last a lifetime
It is the natural material par excellence
The leather breathes and therefore guarantees that both it and its contents will last
It is elastic, that is why the bag softens over time maintaining its shape and sturdiness unchanged
In relationship to its durability, it is not expensive
