Our story begins in the late 19th century, when Luigi Locati opened a small artisanal workshop in the Navigli district of Milan. Initially specializing in decorating leather book covers for sacred texts, by 1908 the company shifted its focus to refined leather and fabric clutches for high society, becoming the first leather goods manufacturer of its time.

Our creations have accompanied royal families and world-famous stars at key moments in their lives. Thanks to refined design and exceptional quality, Leu Locati has earned a place of honor in the wardrobes of influential figures, such as Queen Elizabeth II of England, who wore the legendary “Queen Bag” (art. 540 in Mesh B4) on 17 official occasions.

For over 115 years, every bag has been designed and crafted by hand at our headquarters in Via Cosimo del Fante 13, just a few minutes from the Duomo. From leather selection and cutting to assembly and packaging, every step of the production process is managed in-house. Artisan expertise and meticulous attention to detail are core values that set our creations apart.

Our collections feature elegant and sophisticated designs, combining a classic aesthetic with a contemporary twist. Some historic designs from the Locati archive are also revisited in today’s lines, updated with a modern style that remains faithful to the tradition of Italian
