Leather Goods Manufacturing Process

We use vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscan tannery Tempesti.

The leather is cut into strips which are then cut into the shape of the item being made.

To thicken the leather, two layers are glued together.

Where relevant, holes are punched, and other details are added.

The leather edges are painted using a matching colour, and the edges are polished to make them smooth.

Using a leather embossing machine, branding and other markings are applied to the leather.

The component parts are stitched together using nylon thread and special leather sewing machines known as 'flatbed'.
