"You either are a work of art, or you wear one". Giorgio Linea's motto, a leather goods workshop and incubator of excellent projects in Impruneta, on the hills of Florence, reveals pride and will-power. A creative space, made of wood, green spaces and plays of light, where know-how, passion and a dedicated archive create a unique harmony of craftsmanship and trends.

Giorgio Linea

Via Guido Rossa, 6 - 8, Cascine del Riccio, Impruntea (Firenze)

The name is that of a small leather goods company founded in 1984 in the Florentine Impruneta area. Then comes Barbara Ricchi: as a twenty-year-old she understands that the artisan excellences that work with leather must make a leap in quality and aim directly at high fashion. Thus Giorgio Linea becomes a reference for leather goods and collaborates directly with fashion houses such as Trussardi, Bottega Veneta, Burberry and Tom Ford. Barbara's passion, often referred to by creatives as "the woman of impossible missions", has led to special projects such as one night's request for the Givenchy gladiator bustier worn by Madonna at the 2012 Super Bowl concert. A continuous energy that finds space in collaborations that transform leather from a noble waste material into contemporary works of art. In addition to the open space laboratory, among suspended plants and tables for processing the raw material, there is the archive, more than 40 years of experience in the sector and a continuous source of inspiration for designers from all over the world.
