F&F city maps are reinterpreted incising the leather with laser; each city is a geometric work which allow a meeting between daily life and art. They are manually signed (hot stamp with terrestrial coordinates) with experience and passion, to make each numbered piece, unique and unrepeatable. All leathers have own history and a beauty to show, they are carefully recovered from different parts of the world. #SkinCities
