OUR MISSION
At Liffner we are committed to creating timeless, versatile and quality accessories that stand the test of time.
Our mission to contribute towards a more sustainable future is an ongoing journey. Daily, we explore ways to improve our practices and become more innovative with our resources and technology. Overall, we strive to ensure that our customers are able to make an educated and informed purchase decision through being transparent about our materials, supply chains and business model.
SUPPLY CHAIN
Since the start, Liffner handbags have been handcrafted at a family-owned factory outside Florence, an area known for its traditional leather working techniques. Unmatched attention to detail and time-honored skills of the local artisans are closely aligned with our desire to create unique, expressive pieces of impeccable quality without compromising our ethics or the environment. We consciously produce our collections in small batches to stay in line with demand, never straining our resources.
MATERIALS
We only use bi-product hides and partner with trusted tanneries top rated by the Leather Working Group. Since we want you to be able to carry your Liffner bag for all future we choose to work with natural leathers rather than vegan/synthetic leathers. A natural leather has an increased durability, allowing our designs to maintain their signature Liffner shape. For the same reason, we use chrome tanning instead of vegetable tanning in order for the leather to retain its natural colors and increase the long-term wearability.
PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT
All packaging used to protect your purchase during transit is 100% recyclable. We have consciously chosen not to offer gift boxes, unnecessary plastic or excessive tissue paper in order to minimize our production of waste.
CARE GUIDE
The Liffner Bags
Our bags are designed to be loved and worn for years to come. Our leather goods are exclusively produced outside of Florence, Italy. We use carefully selected leathers from local tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, ensuring the highest quality and sustainability standards.
Our bags are made from natural leather which means that every piece is unique. To maintain and preserve your bag’s condition, we recommend you read the care instruction below.
Limit the exposure of strong sunlight, humidity, heat, or rain and avoid contact with liquids, perfumes and oil.
To maintain the structural shape of your bag, stuff it when not in use and store it in the Liffner dust bag. Stuffing your bag makes a big difference for the lifespan of your bag.
Brush your suede bag regularly with a suede brush to restore the suede texture and gently remove surface dirt. Clean your leather bag regularly by using a soft, damp cloth and wipe the leather to remove dust and dirt.
The Liffner Jewelry
Our line of Liffner jewelry is a curated collection of subtle statement pieces created in our signature spirit of playful minimalism. Follow these recommendations to keep your jewelry in good condition and make it last.
To help protect your jewelry, avoid wearing it in water and exposing your piece to perfumes and other chemical products.
To clean your piece, gently wash in warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dishwashing soap. Buff it dry with a soft cloth. For sterling silver pieces, a silver polishing product can be used. Please avoid using silver polishing products on gold plated pieces. To clean your pearls, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and let air dry.
When not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place in its Liffner pouch to prevent excess tarnish.
