Tucano is an Italian company leader in the production of bags and cases for work, travel and leisure. Founded in Milan in 1985, thanks to the entrepreneurial intuition of Franco Luini, its founder and CEO, Tucano was born with the computer market, producing the first bags to carry computers at the end of the 80s.
In a virtually virgin market, Tucano launches some solutions for the first compact PC in history, the legendary Apple Macintosh Plus designed by Steve Jobs and presented to the public in 1986. From that moment on, Tucano follows the timeline traced by the genius of Apple, designing bags, backpacks and cases for the products that have revolutionized our digital life, the MacBook, the iPhone and the iPad.
Tucano PC bags are ahead of their time in a world that will revolutionize habits and lifestyles in just a few years. In the 1990s, the first laptops arrived and Tucano created Computer Comforts, the first complete range of black technical bags designed to carry and protect them.
Since personal computers already have mice, Tucano is the first Italian company to focus on the mousepad. Colorful and fun, the mousepad is increasingly in demand and makes Tucano known to everyone.
The Milanese company continues to invest constantly in research, design and production of innovative and “smart” products, designed for a customer attentive to the digital world. In a short time, in addition to protection, it also focuses on color, proposing new collections capable of revolutionizing the concept of a technical bag and obtaining unexpected results. The design, the research of materials and the adoption of refined details have generated exclusive and iconic products, capable of giving the brand international recognition: the Second Skin® and the Work Out bag unequivocally express the spirit of this new trend.
Since 2017, Tucano has undertaken an ecological path with the adoption of recycled plastic or compostable materials that have given life to an eco-sustainable catalog, defined by certified materials and accessories and in line with the new European regulations. This challenge in the name of ethical and environmentally friendly production, capable of playing a crucial role in safeguarding the planet, is an integral part of a broader program. Tucano's path of social and environmental responsibility includes, in fact, a complete transformation, also extended to the company's internal operations. This commitment has translated into a series of concretely ecological initiatives such as correct waste management, energy requalification and waste reduction.
