Cuoio di Toscana alongside Marine Serre with the CDT Prize

Consorzio Cuoio di Toscana – spokesman in the world of one of the leading tanning districts and expression of the excellence of a unique sole leather, obtained by slow vegetable tanning – accompanied under the umbrella of the CDT Prize, the debut of Marine Serre at the Florentine kermesse as Guest Designer, supporting the French designer for her event.

 “Since 2021 we have been supporting young talents through the CDT Prize, with the aim of enhancing creativity and raising awareness of the importance of a quality, Made in Italy product such as our leather. This collaboration testifies to the raw material’s ability to respond to innovation from a sustainable perspective, which is essential for the future of the industry,’ said Antonio Quirici, President of Cuoio di Toscana.

Cuoio di Toscana also acted as spokesperson for the sustainable commitment by supporting the eighth edition of S|Style, an exhibition project of Fondazione Pitti Discovery, with the aim of valorising a generation of international fashion designers committed to sustainable development. Cuoio di Toscana also played a leading role at the Tuscan fair by presenting the Infinity Mirror installation, dedicated to the silver special edition of the iconic moccasin characterised by the Green Sole, the manifesto of the Consortium’s sustainable values. A conceptual and immersive project characterised by an infinite projection of the shoe, through mirrored surfaces: just as a mirror inserted in an environment projects what surrounds it without modifying it, in the same way Cuoio di Toscana – by recovering the raw material from food waste – succeeds in reintroducing it into the market, after vegetable tanning in a vat, offering an environmentally friendly product.
