Contemporary leather valet tray
Contemporary leather valet tray
Cellerini
Cellerini has been making leather goods in a first-floor atelier on Via del Sole, in central Florence, since the late 1950s. The workshop has its own takes on the traditional Florentine forms - and this tray is one of them.
It is the form most people know: corners snapped up by hardware, the leather laying flat when the studs are released. Cellerini's contemporary version reworks the materials. The walls are fine-grained calfskin inside and out - leather facing leather, with no suede inner lining - so the four sides have weight and stand straight. The base is a single panel of soft suede, set down inside to land what a pocket holds at the end of the day without a sound. The press studs are gold-plated and worn on the outside, where they read as small ornament.
Hand-cut, hand-stitched and finished in the workshop.

About Cellerini
Cellerini is a leather workshop on the first floor of Via del Sole 9, in central Florence. There is no shopfront, only a small sign at the door; to get in you press the bell and climb the stairs. Once you are inside the atelier, the workbenches are the ones the Cellerinis put there in 1960 - long, well-worn, dressed with the same hand-tools, leather laid out across them as it has always been.
Silvano and Anna Maria Cellerini started the workshop in the late 1950s, in a small rented room near the Mercato Nuovo, doing restoration. The work was good enough that the Florentine families took notice quickly. Within a few years they had the apartment on Via del Sole, where they have been ever since.
Everything that leaves the room is made in it: bags, wallets, belts, smaller leather objects, cut and stitched and finished by hand from a careful selection of Italian leathers. Pieces are made to last.
Cellerini is exclusive to Australia at The Leopard.
