More about FP Pelletterie:FP Pelletterie, est. 1977, is a family-owned and operated business with (2) stores in Florence, Italy. They offer a small production of traditional leather goods, made by hand in their artisan workshop and every item they sell is 100% made in Italy.Each item reflects the artisanal tradition and high quality of Florentine leather, combining elegance and functionality. Concentrating on crafting the right coloring for every item, the technique they use was invented in the late 1970's by the founder and still survives today (thanks to the secret passing of the recipe from father to son)... before being assembled, each piece is painted by hand. This ensures that each product they make is slightly different from every other and that there is never two identical/duplicate products.Before being assembled, the leather (pre-painted), is decorated with a gold leaf by heat. This process adds a typical element of Florentine tradition, as the city is world-famous for both the treatment of leather
and precious materials like gold and silver.This makeup/purse mirror set is truly one of a kind!!
