The history of Ottino began in the 19th century when Eugenio Ottino founded the business, rooted in the prestigious Tuscan leather tradition. For four generations, the brand has collaborated with the finest local artisans to create exceptional bags and accessories, crafted exclusively by hand in Tuscany using premium leathers. An international institution known for authenticity, Ottino has always championed an ethical approach, utilizing sustainable materials and natural tanning. This commitment is further reflected in their restoration service, which rejuvenates pieces even decades later. Today, led by Virginia Ottino—the first woman at the brand’s helm—the company continues to evolve. While modernizing its historic location at Via Porta Rossa 69r and expanding globally, Ottino remains faithful to the core values of Made in Italy craftsmanship.
