LEU LOCATI S.R.L

Luigi Locati, a man with the love for arts, opened a handcraft shop at the end of the 19th century to express his appreciation for all beautiful things, devoting himself to the leather decoration of covers for sacred books. He thus began in 1908 to manufacture only elegant leather articles in the heart of Milan for the high class socialites. And so, the story of Leu Locati began. Over a 110 years later, two world wars, a handful of success and failures, the Leu Locati dynasty continues. Locati bags have been accompanying royalties and stars throughout the years, from the beloved Princess Diana to Sharon Stone who have recognized the re-fined design, top quality and precise craftsmanship of the artisans that make every bag a work of art. Unique techniques such as the “Petit Point” and the exclusive “Mesh“ - metal threads (real gold and silver) woven together – that continue to be classics, sought after by those who are aware of the “Hidden Gem”. Paolo Amato, the actual president, continues to ensure that the tradition of creating luxury leather goods stays strong. The love and passion for handbags seems to be hereditary, almost a part of the family’s DNA passed down from generation to generation, even extending amongst the artisans who handcraft every piece. It is a place unlike any other, a passion that runs deep and a trade that can never be imitated by others. Today the vocation of Leu Locati remains the same: to produce distinctive and luxurious articles of quality, design and beauty; not only containers of objects but works of art. Leu Locati: A true treasure chest for the customer that appreciates the difference, the uniqueness, the object born from the love and the great care for details of the last "maestri"​ pellettieri of the Milanese school, in the heart of old Milan.
