The craft of tanning combines science and sensitivity, an art learned through practice. Our expertise is passed down from generation to generation, with passionate artisans who perpetuate a unique know-how.
Our master tanners train new generations to develop their sensory skills. They teach them to evaluate the "hand" of the leather, analyze its "sound," and understand the subtle visual and tactile nuances that make all the difference.
Tanning is a precision craft based on careful observation, knowledge sharing, and mastery of technical gestures. Each step is crucial to ensure excellent work.
We combine ancestral techniques with contemporary industrial methods, while maintaining a constant commitment to quality. This approach allows us to preserve our artisanal heritage while meeting the current demands of the leather market.
