When creativity is a family affair

  • • Piero works with his sons, Maurizio and Marco
  • • There are 37 steps to produce a single coin case
  • • Fratelli Peroni collaborates with a lot of famous labels

The origins of Fratelli Peroni date back to 1956, when the brothers Piero and Roberto Peroni founded their leather workshop in Florence. Today, Maurizio and Marco, together with their father Piero, are carrying on the tradition of high quality leather products with creativity and innovation. Piero Peroni creates everyday products – wallets, business card holders, coin cases, furnishing, bags, briefcases – using high quality raw materials, like the vegetable tanned calf leather. He takes inspiration from the Florentine artistic heritage, specifically some details of the works of art in the museums. Piero and his sons collaborate with a lot of famous labels, including Fendi – the famous Italian fashion brand – who have chosen Peroni for reinterpreting their iconic bag “Baguette”.
