Welcome to my bottega
In Italian, a bottega is a craftsman's workshop. My name is Zizza, and I am the proud owner of Bottega del Giglio. I have been a craftsman since I was sixteen, and I started out right here in the streets of Florence, as an apprentice in a bottega.
Vegetable-tanned in Tuscany
I make every belt from vegetable-tanned leather, a Florentine tradition that relies on natural tannins. It is a slower, more natural process, and it gives a leather of real quality that changes with you over time and develops a patina all its own.

The Workshop
The workshop is a dream come true. Building it was the hardest thing I have ever taken on, and also one of the most fun. It is where Bottega del Giglio will keep growing and getting better, so that what we make for you keeps improving, and where there is room for our creativity and for yours.
