Tuscany & Thread was born from a love of timeless things - pieces with character, craftsmanship, and a story to tell.

I’m Steph, founder of Tuscany & Thread, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to old-world beauty, sentimental treasures, and the kind of objects that feel meaningful long after they’re brought home. I’ve always loved collecting pieces passed down through generations in my own family - things worn with time, rooted in memory, and filled with history.

As someone who is half Italian, with family roots in places like Matera and throughout Southern Italy, I always felt deeply connected to the culture, the warmth, and the appreciation for craftsmanship woven into everyday life.

But Tuscany & Thread truly began through my dad’s love for Italy.

On his travels to Florence, he fell in love with Italian leather craftsmanship and the small family-run shops tucked down quiet alleyways. Places filled floor to ceiling with handmade goods, worn wooden tables, the scent of leather, and artisans whose hands carried years of work and tradition. He would bring pieces home for family and friends, and over time, I fell in love with the feeling behind them too.

Not just the leather itself, but what it represented:
quality over excess,
beauty in simplicity,
and the idea that everyday essentials can still feel special.

Today, Tuscany & Thread is my way of bringing that feeling to life.

We handpick authentic Italian leather goods and timeless treasures with an old-world heart… pieces inspired by travel, family, craftsmanship, and the slower, more meaningful moments in life.

Everything we carry is chosen with intention and designed to feel warm, thoughtful, and beautifully lived with for years to come.

From our family to yours.
