Officina della Pelle was born in Lucca in 2010, when the Capuozzo family was inspired to transform and expand the business started in the 70’s by the then young Antonio. At that time, Antonio, a specialist in processing leather, became a skilled artistic bookbinder, earning the trust of not only the most well-known antiquarian bookstores in Naples but also the prestigious National Library for whom he became a regular contractor.

As time went by, Antonio’s children also learned the skills and secrets of the trade, always respecting their father’s philosophy that every single item should be handled with absolute attention to detail. With the new generation joining him full time in the workshop, the catalogue increased, expanding into the field of leather goods with the production of high quality bags and belts. As their range grew, so did the need to introduce their work to a wider public.
