Re-birth by Cuoio di Toscana: 40 years of sustainable excellence

The evening of 18 June, hosted by Fabiana Giacomotti in the gardens of the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence, brought together distinguished guests from the worlds of high fashion, luxury craftsmanship and institutions. The star of the event was the limited edition created in collaboration with Diego Dolcini: a masculine reinterpretation of the classic Opanka moccasin in natural shades that characterise the excellence of Tuscan leather. ‘I am particularly proud of this collaboration with Cuoio di Toscana,’ said Diego Dolcini during the event. ‘After creating the first special version of the Opanka sole with a stiletto heel in 1995, returning to work on this iconic model represents a full circle for me. The consortium’s craftsmanship and the quality of Tuscan leather have made it possible to create a shoe that combines tradition and innovation.’

The limited edition presented is a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can come together: the special Opanka technique, which makes the sole and upper a single piece that only a few Italian workshops can produce, is enhanced by a hidden tag that traces the various stages of the shoe’s production, a real sustainability passport with which Cuoio di Toscana certifies and guarantees its green values.
