Full-grain leather, its craftsmanship, The Bridge always favors the naturalness and softness of leathers. IS only the best full-grain leather, coming from European farm animals, is used to guarantee the high quality of the raw material, the uniform grain, free of scratches and imperfections. The processing still takes place today according to the artisan tradition of the Florentine workshop, strictly by hand. In the tanning phase, only vegetable tannins and animal fats are used. In this way the leather obtains that transparency and patination that with use make it more pleasant to the eye and to the touch. For the dyeing, wool pads are used, which are repeatedly passed by hand on the leather, to enhance the naturalness of the leather and the particularities of its surface. Finally, the polishing, performed according to the Tuscan tradition, with amber rollers. It is a technique used increasingly rarely because it requires time and patience, Over the years, materials other than leather and new treatments have been experimented with. To accentuate the vintage look of the leather, new manufacturing processes have been developed, such as the "washed & ruined" for a desired worn effect and the "distressed"obtained by stressing the leather during the tanning phase, treatments that highlight defects, discolorations and imperfections of the leather, porous and thick grains that enhance the naturalness and give the leather a contemporary and current look. The same care and attention paid to leather processing has been applied to canvas and embossed coated fabric, a particular material, customized with a logo print. The recent embossed collection, Heritage, is inspired by an original graphic print inspired by the old textile textures of luggage reinterpreted with modern and contemporary patterns.
