About Us







We select only the best hides for our products. The hides undergo the unique CHROMIUM TANNING PROCESS, known as "dynamic tanning process", using the latest technology .

We are the pioneers of this kind of tanning process, which started in 1990

 


The hides undergo a thorough cleansing process stripping their natural oils and other contaminates with the best chemical agents that are different from those used in traditional tanning methods.

Our technology, makes the leather more resistant to tears and cracks thus extending the product’s life; the traditional process, on the contrary, can cause the hide to dry up within a few years.

To date, we are the only company in this field employing professional engineers, artists and handcrafters.
