Made in Italy & Designed in Austria
At Five Forty The Label, we take pride in partnering with local artisans and honoring the timeless traditions of leather craftsmanship. Our collection is a reflection of this commitment - each piece thoughtfully crafted by blending premium materials with years of expertise. The result is more than just a product; it’s a beautifully designed, sophisticated piece that embodies quality, heritage, and care.
Veneto, Italy.
In the historic city of Padova, surrounded by the peaceful northern Italian countryside, our handmade bags take shape. We work closely with a small, family-run business that shares our passion for quality and craftsmanship. Their skilled artisans carefully craft each piece, giving our Gaia Mini Bag its timeless elegance. It’s a partnership built on trust, tradition, and a love for creating something truly unique.
Tuscany, Italy.
In the surroundings of Florence, our esteemed production site embodies a tradition of precision and impeccable craftsmanship. Every stitch and detail reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence - a philosophy deeply rooted in Tuscany’s celebrated heritage of fashion and leather artistry.
The creation of each Paloma Tote Bag and Paola Bag pays homage to the enduring spirit of Florence, a city renowned for its harmonious blend of artistry and innovation. This rich cultural legacy inspires every piece, infusing it with the timeless elegance and quality that define our work.
Friuli, Italy.
At Five Forty, we honor the heritage of Friulane shoemaking in Gonars, Italy, a town with a centuries-old tradition in the craft. Since 1670, Gonars has been a hub for shoemakers, and by 1912, over 300 artisans were producing 140.000 pairs annually.
Today, our Friulane shoes are meticulously handcrafted here using time-honored techniques. We use luxurious velvet uppers and hand-stitched, recycled rubber soles, continuing the Venetian tradition of repurposing quality materials. Loved for their elegance and versatility, our Friulane shoes embody true Italian craftsmanship-made with care, built to last.
