franzi

Franzi is Italy’s oldest luxury leather goods brand, founded in Milan in 1864 by Felice Franzi. Building on his father's trunk-making business started in 1840, Felice established a workshop that would become the foundation of Milan's luxury leather district, even training a young Guccio Gucci. For decades, Franzi was celebrated for its superior craftsmanship and innovative tanning techniques, like the signature 'Cuoio Franzi' leather, earning appointments as an official supplier to four European royal houses. The brand's designs are rooted in a sober and sophisticated Milanese style, blending functionality with timeless elegance.
