Scott Kerr speaks with Stefano Giacomelli, CEO of Tivoli Group, the Florentine company that produces leather goods for some of the world's most well known fashion and luxury brands. Stefano discusses the company's adaptable business model and why its "beyond craftsmanship" credo is an important part of Tivoli Group's success. He also talks about why the leather goods industry will continue to thrive despite the softening luxury market, how AI and craftsmanship can collaborate successfully, navigating the challenges of the labor shortage, Tivoli Group's sustainability practices, and why it acquired the 135-year-old British luxury leather goods brand Smythson. Plus: Is the new face of "Made in Italy" about scale and power?
