Company

Our history

Our history begins in 1969 with the acquisition of the historic tannery “3 Chiodi” located in Pescia. This name has always been synonymous with quality and tradition in the production of vegetable tanned leather.

We have acquired and respected this heritage, keeping alive the ancient pit tanning process that preserves the distinctive characteristics of artisanal vacchetta. Over times we have reinterpreted tradition, contaminating it with modern technologies and new experiments, to respond to the constantly evolving needs of the fashion sector.

Laboratory

In order to guarantee the best quality standards of the finished product and the technical requests of customers, the tannery is equipped with its own quality control laboratory in which physical tests are carried out to simulate the conditions of use of leather over time.
