OUR LEATHERS
MOLINARI HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH LEATHER SINCE 1987. A LOVE STORY SPANNING OVER THIRTY YEARS, FUELLED BY PASSION AND DEDICATION. A RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS NEVER ACCEPTED COMPROMISE, ALWAYS BEEN BASED ON THE QUEST FOR THE BEST: IN THE CHOICE OF LEATHERS, IN THE ATTENTION TO PROCESSES, IN THE ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL, IN THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT. A WAY OF EXPERIENCING LEATHER BASED ON RESPECT FOR A TRADITION HANDED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION BY THE MOST EXPERT ITALIAN TANNERS, WHOSE ART IS KNOWN AND APPRECIATED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
FROM NUBUCK TO FULL GRAIN, THE RAW MATERIALS SELECTED BY MOLINARI ARE OF ABSOLUTE QUALITY, AN ESSENTIAL STARTING POINT FOR CREATING WORKS THAT MAKE THE MOST OF THE ITEMS ON WHICH THEY ARE USED.
ONE OF MOLINARI'S ABSOLUTE MUST IS PRECISELY THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE NATURAL CONSISTENCY AND TEXTURE OF THE LEATHERS, WITHOUT ALTERING THEIR CHARM, UNIQUE AND CHANGING OVER TIME. FOR THIS REASON, IN THE NOBILIS, IDRO NOBILIS, IDRO TOUCH, OLD TUSCANY AND SUPREME COLLECTIONS, THE LEATHERS USED ARE TANNED ACCORDING TO THE MOST ANCIENT TECHNIQUE, THE LEAST WIDESPREAD AND ALSO THE MOST COMPLEX TO MAKE: THE VEGETABLE ONE. THE VEGETABLE TANNING PROCESS IS ALMOST ENTIRELY MANUAL, AND INVOLVES THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF UNALTERED NATURAL PRODUCTS, SUCH AS FRUIT, BARK, LEAVES AND OTHER NATURAL EXTRACTS, EXPERTLY MIXED WITH WATER AND TANNINS. THIS IS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS ON WHICH MOLINARI’S CONCEPT OF LUXURY IS BASED: TIME THAT MARKS THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE WORKMANSHIP, OF THE PROCESSES ENTIRELY MADE BY HAND AND IN ITALY. WITHOUT THE NECESSITY TO BE IN A HURRY, ALWAYS ACTING, AT EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCTION, IN FULL RESPECT OF NATURE’S TIMES.
THE “VEGETABLE-TANNED LEATHER IN TUSCANY" CERTIFICATION GUARANTEES THE ORIGINALITY OF THE PROCESS, THE QUALITY OF THE RAW MATERIALS USED, THE AUTHENTICITY OF EACH PRODUCT AND ITS UNIQUENESS. EACH LEATHER IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS, AND THE COLORS CHANGE OVER TIME, GIVING LIFE TO THE ITEMS THAT LIVE AND “GROW OLD” TOGETHER WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY ARE PLACED.
RESPECT FOR TRADITION, BUT ALSO RESEARCH AND INNOVATION, WITH WATER-REPELLENT LEATHERS, AVAILABLE IN THE IDRO TOUCH AND IDRO NOBILIS IDRO COLLECTIONS. DEVELOPED EXCLUSIVELY BY MOLINARI TOGETHER WITH A SPECIALIZED PARTNER, THIS SPECIFIC TREATMENT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIALS UNALTERED, BOTH FROM AN AESTHETIC AND TEXTURE POINT OF VIEW, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PROTECTING THEM, SAFEGUARDING THEM FROM THE EFFECTS OF TIME AND USE, AND ENHANCING THE FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS.
COLLECTION
HYDRO
EACH ELEMENT OF MOLINARI'S COLLECTIONS IS MADE TO LAST OVER TIME, NOT ONLY THANKS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS, BUT ALSO THANKS TO THE DUTIFUL ATTENTION TO A SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE, THROUGH THE UNION OF A TIMELESS STYLE AND THE USE OF 100% RECYCLABLE MATERIALS, WHICH GUARANTEE MINIMUM IMPACT ONCE THEY REACH THE END OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE. A MODERN VISION OF LUXURY, BASED ON VALUES, ON SHARED PRINCIPLES, WHICH SHUNS CONSTANT CHANGES, AND DOES NOT ONLY THINK ABOUT THE SATISFACTION OF CONTINGENT, OFTEN FUTILE, DESIRES.
