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.
