Timeless appeal
Enter the Il Bisonte boutique in Palazzo Corsini on the Lungarno to discover a world dedicated to style and craftsmanship. Since 1970, the Florentine brand of leather goods and accessories founded by Wanny Di Filippo has been distinguished by the originality of its creations, handcrafted by skilled artisans using high-quality materials such as cowhide, leather and all-natural vegetable-tanned leather.
In addition to bearing the Made in Italy merchandise mark, Il Bisonte’s bags, document holders, suitcases, travel accessories and small leather goods share the same attention to detail, as regards both their design and the various stages involved in the production process. From leather cutting to splitting and hand-sewn details, each stage of the process is carried out following methods handed down from generation to generation like a precious artwork to be safeguarded. The use of natural materials guarantees the uniqueness of each product, a characteristic that has always been dear to Il Bisonte. Using a traditional Tuscan process of vegetable tanning, an Il Bisonte bag only improves with time, embracing the unique qualities impressed on it with each wear.
