Il Bussetto
Founded in 2004 in Milan, Il Bussetto is renowned for its elegant, functional small leather goods that reflect Italy’s rich artisanal heritage. Each product is crafted from premium bovine leather, sourced from the finest farms in Europe, then hand-shaped and dyed using natural tannins from trees such as chestnut and quebracho. The dyeing process, along with the use of natural pigments, glues, and waxes, gives each piece a distinctive character. Il Bussetto’s commitment to quality is further assured by the “VERA PELLE CONCIATA AL VEGETALE” label, certifying high-quality vegetable tanning.
The Maestro Range
The Maestro range showcases Il Bussetto’s mastery of an ancient Tuscan technique that creates seamless leather pieces. This process involves molding wet leather over custom wooden forms shaped to the item’s interior, which, after drying, is individually dyed by hand with natural pigments. Edges are smoothed and polished with a small heated iron tool, the “bussetto,” from which the brand takes its name. As a final touch, the leather is waxed and buffed to a smooth, glossy finish, embodying Il Bussetto’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship.
Care Instructions
To hide any scratches and restore the leather’s shine, apply a thin layer of Il Bussetto colourless moisturizing cream to the entire painted surface, then rub vigorously with a soft cloth.
