The quality
and origin
of our hides
We choose only the very best
hides, rejecting those with too
many defects. Minor flaws and
irregularities are accepted, however,
since they demonstrate the fully
natural origin of the product.
Our hides come from the finest
cattle farms in Europe, where
livestock can move freely
in an ideal environment.
The colour
of leather
Our hides are tumbled in the dye
drum with aniline, a synthetic
dye that preserves the natural
look of the leather. Depending on
the desired result, a more opaque,
pigmented dyeing process may
follow. This stage determines the
final outcome: softness, hand, grain,
and obviously, the basic colour.
High-tech
tailoring
Leather can be difficult to work
properly, due to an uneven
structure, along with flaws (cuts,
scars, etc.) that vary from hide to
hide, making it hard to automate
the cutting process. By combining
the advanced technology of our
machinery, which ensures an
extremely precise mechanical cut,
with the proven skill and tested
experience of our personnel,
we can tailor leather to different
needs, while always ensuring
the best results.
Storage and
conservation
We store our raw materials
in a special vault, a place where
hides can be kept at a constant
temperature to ensure the right
parameters for proper conservation.
