Our founder, James Lor, was given the opportunity to learn leather craft by Mr Valecchi Stefano, who ran a small workshop in Florence. Stefano also owned TOSCANO – the label under which he sold his leather merchandise, mostly bespoke items, to a niche local clientele.

During his apprenticeship, James was so impressed by the skill, intricate techniques and attention to detail that the craftsmen exhibited, he felt the need to introduce these quality products to the Asian consumer at an affordable price. Stefano eventually granted him licensing rights to TOSCANO in South-East Asia.

In 1987 James returned to Singapore and launched TOSCANO in various department stores throughout the country. His early goods were imported directly from Stefano’s workshop but did not sell as well as he had hoped. He quickly realised that although the quality and essence of TOSCANO was to be maintained, he had to implement certain design tweaks to better appeal to the local market.

In 2016, James’s son, Joseph, took over as the CEO of Tocco Toscano, allowing the way for James to focus on his true passion - design.

From Father to Son: A Second Generation Business

James created Tocco Toscano with the intention to provide beautiful, well made leather products to a wide variety of people, at a fair price. When Joseph took over, the intention was the same, just with an extended vision - infusing functional elements into their current designs; Functional fashion with the luxury of choice.
