What does “privacy shielding” mean?

Privacy shielding means physically blocking wireless signals from entering or leaving your device. Instead of turning something off with software, Ferronato products use a special fabric that acts like a barrier. When your phone is inside the sleeve, it is completely disconnected from the outside world.

Is airplane mode the same as using a Ferronato privacy sleeve?

A fair and important question. Airplane mode reduces certain connections, but it does not physically isolate your device. WiFi and Bluetooth can still be reactivated, and some background functions may remain active. A Ferronato privacy sleeve works differently. It creates a physical barrier around your device, preventing signals from entering or leaving. Your phone becomes truly unreachable while inside, a tangible and dependable way to disconnect wherever you are.

Will I receive calls if my phone is inside a privacy sleeve?

If your phone is inside a Ferronato privacy sleeve, it will not receive calls, messages, or notifications. Anyone calling you will be redirected to voicemail. When you remove the phone, it reconnects and you will see missed calls. Our bags offer flexibility. You may keep your phone in a regular pocket when you wish to remain reachable, or place it inside the privacy sleeve when you prefer complete digital silence.

Why does Ferronato combine craftsmanship and shielding technology?

Ferronato was created from a simple observation: we live in a connected world, but we rarely control it. Traditional leather craftsmanship focuses on beauty, durability, and function. We chose to integrate advanced Swiss-developed shielding fabric into that craftsmanship, so our products do more than carry your essentials. They give you control over your connectivity. It is not about fear of technology. It is about intentional use of it. Ferronato combines heritage craftsmanship with modern signal control to create pieces that are both elegant and intelligent.

FAQ

What does RFID mean?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification.

It is a technology used in contactless credit cards, ID cards, and biometric passports. These cards contain a tiny chip and antenna that allow them to be read wirelessly by payment terminals or scanners.

RFID shielding blocks those wireless signals so your card cannot be read without your knowledge.

How can I test if my Ferronato product is working?

You can test it easily.

For privacy sleeves: Place your phone inside the sleeve and wait a few seconds. Then try calling it. If it does not ring, the shielding is working.

For RFID compartments: Place your contactless card inside the protected slot and try making a payment. If the terminal cannot read the card, the RFID protection is active.

Does the shielding make the product heavier or stiff?

No.

The shielding fabric, called MetaFab®, is extremely thin and lightweight. It is carefully integrated into the lining of the product. Your wallet or bag remains flexible and elegant.

Are your materials ethically and responsibly sourced?

Yes.

We use Leather Working Group certified leathers and work with responsible partners. Our production methods prioritize reduced environmental impact and fair working conditions.
