Cuoio di Toscana, the leading international consortium in the production of sole leather obtained by slow vegetable tanning, presented, with an exclusive event at Pitti Uomo, the two new insoles designed to protect the health of consumers and the environment. Thanks to the processing of the vegetable tanning in the tank and the use of tannins, in fact, the shoe with vegetable leather insole and lining maintains a fresh and dry environment that inhibits the development of bacteria responsible for bad odour. The new insoles are also biodegradable, low environmental impact, metal free, breathable and 100% natural, in keeping with the tradition of the tanning consortium.
“The principles of sustainability and traceability constitute the heritage of the Cuoio di Toscana brand, which today adds a further piece to the consortium’s green values and does so with the talent of two young Italian designers, Federico Cina and Marco Rambaldi, and in collaboration with the Italian Podiatrists’ Association,” said Antonio Quirici, president of the consortium.
Reinforcing the consortium’s lifestyle concept was a fashion show featuring the iconic green sole Cuoio di Toscana total looks by Don The Fuller, a Made in Italy excellence that espouses the same principles of sustainability.
