Work jacket in elephant leather

Salvatore Santoro is an Italian brand specialized in leather processing. Salvatore Santoro's journey in leather research began in 1987; after twenty years of production experience, in 2007 the eponymous brand dedicated to men's and women's outerwear was born. From the beginning the project focuses on experimentation, process customization, and a strong artisanal sensitivity, with the goal of obtaining surfaces, textures, and hands difficult to replicate with standard industrial processes.

Leather is treated as a living material. The garments undergo different washes, dyes, and treatments, while leather tanning takes place in the Solofra district. The brand talks about a particular “touch guanteria,” meaning a soft and enveloping hand that brings the outerwear close to the feeling of a second skin. Nappa, suede, shearling, and other processes are thus used to build bombers, overshirts, coats, and jackets in which the natural irregularities of the material become part of the product's identity.

The Salvatore Santoro selection on Setaccio reflects this specialization. There are overshirts and suede bombers, outerwear in nappa, shearling, leather coats, work jackets, and truckers in suede, almost entirely Made in Italy. The assortment also includes some denim proposals, but the core clearly remains leather, declined in different weights, finishes, and constructions to accompany different seasons and uses.

Salvatore Santoro on Setaccio therefore represents a strongly material contemporary leather goods, where artisanal processing, dyeing, and treatment define the character of the garment. It is a proposal for those seeking Italian outerwear with a soft hand, a lived-in look, and a personality that emerges especially from the quality of the leather.
