Where are LIETA bags made?

LIETA bags are cut, stitched and finished by hand in Scandicci, near Florence — the Tuscan leather district that also produces bags for Gucci, Prada, Celine and Dior. Our atelier has 11 artisans on one floor. Leather comes from Walpier tannery in Castelfranco di Sotto, the same supplier the top luxury houses use.

Why does LIETA cost so much less than luxury brands?

The craft is comparable — same Italian leather, same Tuscan district, same tools. The price gap comes from what LIETA doesn't have: no flagship boutiques on Rue Saint-Honoré, no celebrity ambassadors, no fashion week marketing budget. Production cost is roughly the same as a €4,000 luxury bag; we skip the €3,700 of overhead.

What kind of leather does LIETA use?

Full-grain Italian calfskin, primarily vegetable-tanned Buttero from Conceria Walpier in Tuscany. Walpier has been tanning since 1973 and supplies the high end of the luxury industry. Full-grain is the top hide category — the outer layer of the hide, unaltered.

Does LIETA ship worldwide?

Yes — free worldwide shipping on every order. Delivery is 3-8 business days depending on region. Returns are free within 30 days.

Are LIETA bags handmade?

Each bag is cut and stitched by hand at the atelier in Scandicci. Load-bearing seams (handles, gusset anchors) are hand-saddle-stitched with waxed linen thread — the same technique Hermès uses. Long straight seams are machine-sewn for consistency; hardware is hand-attached and hand-polished.

What sizes and colours does LIETA offer?

The current collection includes The Lungo (structured tote, 5 colours including Chocolate, Bronte pistachio and Burrata butter-yellow), The Mercato (LM monogram tote), and The Abbraccio (sculpted soft shoulder hobo in Camel). Prices range €245-295. Each Drop is 20-30 pieces per variant.
