• 100% Goat Suede (India) Finishing in Italy.

Suede is a soft leather that is split from the underside of the hide, creating a velvety napped finish. While its characteristics depend on the type of animal, the tanning process and thickness, most suede is quite pliable.

This family-owned Italian factory has been operated by 3 brothers since 1989. They produce luxury leather products and carefully select tanneries to ensure highest quality. With value for craftsmanship and community, they offer an apprentice program for workers aged 18-27; the program improves their workforce, creates economic opportunity, and preserves craft expertise. In March 2020, the factory installed solar panels and moved its operations closer to a wastewater recycling facility. They abide by the following compliances: SA8000 Standard - Certified, and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
