The Leu Locati atelier was established in 1908. They were producing handbags with “petit point” decorations, while maintaining an interest in “mesh”. Mesh is an exclusive metal fabric, made of copper braids clad with gold and silver, produced on a loom which has been present in their workshop since the 1920s. Their production now includes a bookbinding activity along with decorations for leather covers of sacred books. It enjoyed an ongoing success over the years, mainly thanks to their clients’ appreciation for the superb quality and definition of their products. Their constant research for unusual models, combined with Luigi, Emanuele and Umberto Locati’s creative insights, assures the long-lasting success of their products.
Today, the firm’s clientele mainly demands daily comfort, as well as style and high-quality standards. Recently, the handbags and accessories have been complemented by footwear.
Nowadays, every single piece is manufactured in the workshop in Milan’s historic centre: formerly outsourced procedures are now being provided in-house, thus guaranteeing high-end quality for all products.
