Our leather wears in, not out. To create a product that gets better with age, we start with the highest quality leather. Bosca leather is made in Italy using primarily natural vegetable tannins. Each hide is individually hand stained with a translucent pigment for a rich coloration. This process showcases the leather’s natural characteristics. Upon completion, each hide is inspected and individually signed to ensure only the best quality.
In 1911, a young Italian immigrant named Hugo Bosca founded our company on a foundation dedicated to originality, ingenuity, and lasting quality. Today, the Bosca family and Bosca brand remain stubbornly dedicated to these timeless values. Every detail of each product receives our full consideration from design, to engineering, and, finally, manufacturing.

Only about 1% of the world's leather supply meets our standards. Learn More... We source our hides from small free-range farms in Europe. Hides with blemishes and scars need to be colored with heavy pigments - covering the natural look and feel of the leather - so we select only the best hides to send to our tannery in Italy. After the tanning process, we inspect the hides for a second time. Color is then applied by hand rubbing translucent dyes into the leather - for this reason we often refer our to leather as hand-stained. We inspect again, looking for flaws and imperfections, but also at the character and coloring of the hide to makesure each one is ideal.
All leather goes through one of several types of tanning process. We use the method of vegetable tanning as opposed to "chrome" and "synthetic" tanning processes. Learn More... Both processes can leave harmful chemical residuals in the leather. Vegetable tanning uses tannic acids found in plants and some fruits, giving the finished hide a more natural look. We choose vegetable tanning because the leather is know for it's durability and strength. In addition, Veg-tanned leather is an eco-friendly sustainable material and is free of harmful residuals. Vegetable tanning is an Old World skill that blends artistry and precision; thus it cannot be learned overnight. Our tanning partners have three generations of artists, each passing down family recipes only they know.
The real value of a Bosca product shows itself over time. Rather than looking worn and tired it develops a warm, pleasing patina. We regularly see products from customers that are over 20 years old and are even more beautiful than the day we made them. Learn More... We aren't making products that will break down and need to be replaced every two years - we want you to have it for decades. Our products undergo extensive scrutiny. Custom hardware, fabrics, and fittings are chosen to ensure your Bosca piece will hold up to daily use. We have every aspect of production dialed in so precisely that wecontrol the number of stitches in each inch of stitching.
