The Brand

Our History


Since 1884 our family has been in the leather industry, making saddles for horses. Now we specialise in high-end leather and fur fashion with unmatched customer service and quality.

Franco Fonati now owns David 2 Leather Factory, Dante Leather Factory and David Leather Factory, all located in Florence city-center and all exclusive outlets that sell our designs. You buy direct from the designer and manufacturer when shopping with David 2 Leather.

Our factory is located outside of Florence in the industrial zone near all of the tanneries that provide the world with "Fine Italian Leather." We hand-select pieces individually for each style of jacket.
