Tagliovivo

The brand name "Tagliovivo" means "uncut" because it accurately expresses the brand's identity, which is luxurious yet rough looking. The combination of rough vegetable tanned leather and metal is the brand's specialty.

The bags produced by Tagliovivo are natural.

The word "natural" here refers to the fact that the bags are made with the leather still intact, with any scars, reflecting the designer's idea of accepting the scars that were once a part of the animals. These were born out of respect for animals. The rough leather with these scars reminds the designer of nature. He wants to make his bags as close to nature as possible. Each part is cut by hand, taking into consideration which parts will be durable and will result in a beautiful bag that can be used for generations.

Another distinctive feature is the metal.

Many of the buckle rings are made from wrought iron chains made in the mid-to-late 19th century. They were used in Italy to hang teapots over fireplaces, and when I first saw them I was drawn to them and wanted to incorporate them into my bags. In addition to iron, I also started to use aluminum. To create a contrast between the rough leather and the shiny metal, I created round handles that were laser cut. They are made by hand by artisans in a long-established workshop in Italy that has been in business for three generations.
