【Features of Furla Watches】

1. Made with sustainable leather

The Furla brand is proud of the high quality leather used in Furla products, and like its bags, all Furla watches are made with premium Italian calf leather. The Italian leather used is environmentally friendly and undergoes strict quality control. 90% of the leather used is sustainable (made from the hides of cattle raised for meat), and 99% of the waste generated during the tanning process is recycled. Furthermore, wastewater from the tanning process is purified to a level 65% lower than the legal standard in Japan.


2. The Furla Arch, the brand's symbol
The “Furla Arch” is a new symbol that symbolizes the history and success story of the Italian brand. The “Furla Arch” represents the brand's love for Bologna, where it was founded, and the magnificent architecture of Italy. The design is modeled after the world-famous Bologna Portico (a covered porch structure supported mainly by columns) and the door frame of the historic building that served as Furla's headquarters, built in 1880. It represents the Italian spirit, both historic and modern, as well as its history and worldview, including skilled craftsmanship, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
