Habanero is a family-run artisanal leather shop. Its story dates back to 1959, when Rolando trained as a shop boy in one of Padova’s finest leather workshops. After collecting many years of experience, in 1975 he started his own business together with his wife Luigina, whom he met behind the workbenches. Thus, Habanero was born. Today the business is managed by Rolando’s children Davide, Sabrina and Simonetta: striving to create truly unique artisanal products, fully customized and personalized, they involve clients in every step of the production, from choosing the kind of leather and tint to the finishing touches. Each item has its own personality and function, and is manufactured using only selected leathers sourced from the best tanneries in Veneto and Tuscany. Commissioning the creation of a handbag or an accessory at Habanero is an exciting way to experience the world of artisanal excellence.
