For free spirits, red or honey is the bolder choice.

WHY CHOOSE REAL LEATHER?

A leather luggage is the best solution for those looking for quality and efficiency of the material.
Whether it's a leather bag or a hand trolley, Tuscany Leather uses only high quality leather calfskin, always vegetable tanned. This type of processing guarantees resistance and durability.
The interiors, on the other hand, are in a cotton-based fabric, precisely because it is the material that comes into contact with our clothes and must avoid all types of contamination and allergies. The finishes are treated in detail, as every single piece is produced and sewn by hand.
To ensure all-round comfort,  duffel bags have an adjustable and detachable leather shoulder strap. This way the weight will be correctly distributed along the shoulders. 

FULL GRAIN LEATHER

Full grain leather is the surface layer of the animal's skin. It does not undergo special processes that alter its natural appearance.
This material is unrivaled in quality. Tuscany Leather uses only vegetable tanned leather. This processing technique is the most suitable for allergy sufferers. In fact, tannins are used for tanning, which are completely natural and therefore free from heavy metals. This type of leather represents the maximum expression of "real leather". It has no finishes that tend to mask defects or alter its appearance, leaving the natural characteristics of the animal on display.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT SUITCASE: TRAVEL DURATION

The first question to ask when buying a suitcase is: what kind of experience am I going to have?
If you are going to have a relaxing weekend out of town, you just need a small suitcase or even a leather bag to carry comfortably over the shoulder. Instead, you will understand well that if you are going to leave for more than 20 days and on the other side of the world, you will need a larger and more resistant suitcase. Before buying the large leather suitcase, make a rough list of the things you will need to bring with you. If it is a business trip, a suitcase or a rigid trolley with compartments may be better. Your clothes and documents will remain perfectly organized.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT LUGGAGE: THE DIMENSIONS

Which transport will you use? The most problematic is certainly the plane, due to restrictions on the size of luggage.
Suitcases are generally divided into three categories: small, medium and large suitcases.

• The small suitcases have a size of approximately 40 x 55 x 20 cm and are ideal for short trips or for air travel as a cabin luggage. In fact, they have the perfect size to be able to take them with you in the cabin.
• Medium suitcases measure approximately 45 x 65 x 25cm. They are great for those who prefer to travel light and unhindered.
• The large suitcases have sizes starting from 50 x 75 x 30 cm. They are ideal for long trips or winter trips, when you have to carry heavy and bulky clothes.

It is always useful to check the dimensions and weight allowed by the various airlines before proceeding with the purchase.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT LEATHER TROLLEY: THE WHEELS

There are 2-wheel or 4-wheel suitcases. The former are safer, as the wheels are usually recessed and therefore less exposed to blows. Luggage with 4 wheels, on the other hand, is more comfortable, especially when you have to make long journeys on foot. In fact, they allow you to push the suitcase without having to tow it. while the four wheels are more comfortable if you travel long distances on foot.
