Bespoke Leather Jackets, Bags, and Shoes: Inside the Jennifer Tattanelli Atelier

Jennifer Tattanelli is a Florence-based luxury leather house offering fully bespoke, made-to-order jackets, handbags, and shoes‚ all designed and crafted through a single, unified atelier. It is among the very few leather maisons anywhere where a client can commission custom pieces across all three categories from the same creative hand, rather than visiting a separate specialist for each.

That combination ‚ one atelier, three categories, one point of view ‚ is rare enough to be worth explaining on its own.

What Makes Bespoke Customization at Jennifer Tattanelli Different

Most leather ateliers specialize. A jacket maker makes jackets. A bottega focuses on bags. A calzoleria is built around shoes. Few, if any, do all three as part of one coordinated bespoke practice.

At Jennifer Tattanelli, a client can commission a leather jacket, a handbag, and a pair of shoes as a single considered wardrobe‚ the same leather, the same hardware language, the same design sensibility carried across categories that are almost always treated separately. For clients who care about how pieces relate to each other, not just how each one looks on its own, that continuity is the point.

A Limited Edition Company, By Choice

Jennifer Tattanelli describes itself as a limited edition company‚ and that's a deliberate choice, not a constraint. Staying small is what makes it possible to offer full bespoke customization across three leather categories at once: a house that scaled significantly would sooner or later have to choose between growth and the level of individual attention bespoke commissioning requires.

For clients, that trade-off shows up directly in the process‚ closer collaboration on each commission, and a consistency of craftsmanship that's harder to hold onto at a much larger scale.

A Florentine Heritage: From Casini to Jennifer Tattanelli

The house's roots trace back to Piazza Pitti in Florence, where Jennifer's father, Giorgio, ran the original Casini Firenze leather atelier‚ a name still honored today. The Jennifer Tattanelli brand as it exists now was a natural evolution from the family business, with Jennifer Tattanelli herself as creative director and designer, carrying the family's leatherworking tradition forward into a bespoke house with its own identity.

It remains, in practice, a family business: Jennifer leads design and merchandising, while her husband Giulio Brancatelli‚ who brings prior experience scaling an international luxury brand such as Bottega Veneta, runs the business side as CEO. That combination of hands-on creative heritage and global business experience shapes how the atelier operates today.

A New Chapter on Worth Avenue: Casini Firenze

The newest addition to the Jennifer Tattanelli story is Casini Firenze by the Beach, a third address on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach dedicated entirely to bespoke menswear. The name is a deliberate homage‚ a direct tribute to Giorgio's original Casini Firenze atelier in Florence's Piazza Pitti, carried forward into a space built specifically around men's leather jackets, bags, and shoes.

Rather than opening under the Jennifer Tattanelli name alone, the house chose to bring back the family name that started it all‚ a way of marking Worth Avenue's growing importance to the brand while pointing directly back to where the craftsmanship began….a small homage to Jennifer’ father honoring a promise she made when she was only 18.

The Bespoke Process: From Consultation to Finished Piece

A bespoke commission at Jennifer Tattanelli starts the way most serious made-to-order work does: with a conversation, not a catalog. A client meets with the atelier‚ in Florence or at one of the brand's other locations‚ to discuss what they're actually commissioning: a jacket cut a particular way, a handbag sized and structured around how it will really be used, a pair of shoes built for a specific last and finish.

From there, the process moves through leather selection, construction, and fitting, with the same Florentine craftsmanship applied whether the commission is a single item or a coordinated set across all three categories. Because jackets, bags, and shoes are made under one roof, a multi-piece commission it's handled as one project from the start.

Where to Experience It

Jennifer Tattanelli's bespoke service is available through three physical locations, each reflecting a different chapter of the brand's story:

- Florence‚ the atelier's home city in Piazza Pitti few steps away from the Ponte Vecchio.

- Palm Beach, on Worth Avenue‚ where you can find two Ateliers Jennifer Tattanelli -out of which one dedicate exclusively to shoes with over 400 styles available and one newly opened Casini Firenze store.

- Westhampton Beach, in the Hamptons‚ the brand's first atelier location in the United States.

Each location offers direct access to the bespoke consultation process in addition to the off-the-shelf retail experience. 

Frequently Asked Questions

**What is bespoke leather customization?**

It's a made-to-order process where a piece‚ a jacket, bag, or pair of shoes‚ is designed and built around one client's specific choices in leather, fit, and detail, rather than selected from a fixed collection. We do also offer custom made products where the clients starts from one of existing creations while changing only color or materials.

**Can I commission a matching jacket, bag, and pair of shoes?**

Yes. This is what sets Jennifer Tattanelli apart: all three categories are produced through the same atelier, so a coordinated, multi-piece commission is a single unified process rather than separate orders from different specialists.

**Where are Jennifer Tattanelli's ateliers located?**

Florence, Italy; Palm Beach, Florida (Worth Avenue, including the Casini Firenze menswear location); and Westhampton Beach (oped from Memorial Day thru Labor Day), New York.

**Is Casini Firenze a different brand from Jennifer Tattanelli?**

No. Casini Firenze is Jennifer Tattanelli's dedicated menswear address on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. The name is a tribute to Giorgio's original Casini Firenze atelier in Florence's Piazza Pitti, and the location offers the same bespoke leather craftsmanship as the rest of the house, built specifically around men's jackets, bags, and shoes. 

**Why does Jennifer Tattanelli stay a small company?**

Because full bespoke customization across three leather categories depends on it. Jennifer Tattanelli operates as a limited edition company by choice, staying small enough to maintain the level of craftsmanship and personal attention each commission requires.

**What makes Jennifer Tattanelli different from other Florentine leather houses?**

Most Florentine leather brands specialize in one category‚ jackets, bags, or shoes. Jennifer Tattanelli offers full bespoke customization across all three from a single atelier and creative direction, a combination that's uncommon even among established Florentine houses.
