Emotions entirely made by hand

WHO WE ARE

This activity carry on traditions of generations of leather artisan, that our Maestro Antonio, great leathermaker, passed on to us.
His milestones were:
- Essentials lines
- Care
- Value
- Uniqueness
And so it was...Gli Aminti′s story began.

Our journey of leather modeling starts from here, in the continuous search for materials and shapes, respecting ancient processes made of knowledge and the ability to learn, made of sweat and marks on the hands, with the intent to create unique and endless objects.
Our working union, as well as in life, combines practical design and implementation skills (Franco), and taste in proportions and in the combination of colors and details (Michela).
We work in our artisan workshop in San Gimignano, where man and nature still know the harmonious rhythms of time.

CREATIONS

OUR STORY

Business was founded in 1949 by Antonio Minò, great leathermaker for generations.
His story begins in 1945 when he moved to Poggibonsi and started working in an artisan workshop of leather shoes and accessories.
Antonio immediately stands out for his abilities, after giving up a job offer of an important Tuscan brand, decides to open his own business wich we took over in 1987.
Antonio was an axceptional, strict and rigorous teacher, we owe what we do to his precise and accurate teaching.
He said "when you′ll feel flow leather in your veins you′ll realize you′ re fried". When this job captures you you′ll no longer be able to do without it. He was right as always....that′s how it went! Even today our creations are completely cut and sewn by hand. He left us on December 28, 2008. The day before entering the hospital he was with us in the workshop. We miss him a lot.
