In the world of OUR LAB Department, our mission is to transform the humble raw material of leather into exquisite creations. We invite our leather technologists and customers alike to dream up practical wonders across four realms: the tannery, the bustling production house (think shoe factory), the vibrant marketplace, and even the afterlife of wear—ensuring each step is economically and environmentally sound.
Today's designers and leather artisans are urged to intimately understand the end product. What technical qualities must their leather articles possess? From weight to softness, from the manufacturing process—whether heavy-handed or meticulously crafted by hand—to considerations like abrasion resistance and colorfastness, every detail finds its answer in our Lab. Here, these queries culminate in the birth of a successful shoe, bag, or wallet, each a testament to the artistry and vision of its creator.
