PROCESS — THE CRAFT

FROM ORIGIN TO FINISHING
A technical, controlled and traceable process

THE PROCESS

The hides we work with are a by-product of the food industry. Through a process combining artisanal expertise, technical control and more than 135 years of experience, we transform them into a natural material for leather goods and fashion.
135

More than 135 years perfecting a craft in which tradition, technique and innovation move forward together.

JOURNEY

THE FIVE STAGES OF THE PROCESS

01

The hides we work with are a by-product of the food industry. We verify traceability, animal welfare and the criteria that ensure a high-quality raw material.

02

Before tanning, the hide is cleaned, conditioned and prepared to receive the treatment that will define its performance. Final quality starts at this stage.

03

Tanning transforms a natural raw material into a stable, flexible and durable material. This is the stage that defines the leather’s identity and performance.

04

At this stage, the leather acquires the feel, flexibility, color and performance that will define its character and final use.

05

Every hide is inspected to ensure that it meets our technical, aesthetic and quality standards before becoming part of a new collection.

CERTIFICATION

Every stage of our craft is carried out in accordance with Leather Working Group (LWG) and ZDHC international standards, which support traceability, responsible chemical management and control throughout the tanning process.
