They are made with full grain Italian calf-skin leather and pop nicely when combined with subtle contrast stitching. The interior of all of our travel bags, briefs, and handbags are lined with rugged 100% Cotton/Denim so your clothes will always unpack smelling fresh. The result is a rugged yet supple leather duffle travel bag with unquestionable quality and durability NOT found in mass produced luggage.     About Floto Leather: The finest grade Full Grain Italian Calf-skin leather is used in the production of all Floto bags. The leather is produced at a tannery in Tuscany using all natural vegetable oils. Floto leather is slightly thinner than a belting leather, but thicker than standard luggage and briefcase leather. It is strong enough for generations of wear and tear, but not too heavy or unwieldy. This is important if you travel alot as you will find that our bags are not too heavy but are extremely durable and will outlast any nylon bag. The type of leather we use and our tanning process ensures that it will look better as it ages. Leather comes in many different forms and styles. Producing a leather that will withstand the abuse of heavy travel and still look good was a challenge. Floto leather is the best because we tan it with a vegetable dye and then give it a "European Finish". Vegetable dye is a natural dye that produces a vibrant color and is fade resistant. Unlike inferior leathers that are dyed with chemicals, or diesel - vegetable dyes bring out the natural leather smell over time and are better for the environment than hybrid chemical dyes. Graphical analysis of Floto leather: Solid Clear Finish vs. European Finish: A solid clear finish is a constant clear coat film that completely seals off the leather. A European Finish consists of microscopic particles that bond together and form the clear coat protection. This creates a leather that is softer to the touch and breaks in better over time, while at the same time offering good protection against stains. Copyright 2003 - 2008 Floto Imports Inc.

Over time any frayed ends can be resealed by singeing the frayed end with a lighter.     About Floto Production and Pricing: Unlike some of the bigger guys, all Floto bags are 100% made in Italy.
