Leather is a natural material made from animal hide through a tanning process. Its durability, ageing characteristics and ability to develop a unique patina have made it one of the longest-lasting materials used in fashion.

Founded in Milan by Elio Fiorucci in 1967, Fiorucci became known for bringing together fashion, art, music and popular culture. Its playful visual language includes bold graphics, colourful prints, denim and the iconic cherub motif. The brand played an important role in making fashion more expressive and accessible, developing a global cultural identity that extended well beyond traditional Italian fashion.
