ITALIAN TANNERIES: CUSTOM LEATHER DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION
Mapel & C. supplies custom-developed leather to meet each customer’s technical requirements, offering a wide choice of colours, finishes, thicknesses, cuts and leather types.
Our service is designed for brands, fashion designers, leather goods manufacturers, footwear producers and furniture companies looking for exclusive, repeatable Made in Italy leather articles. Products are developed through a network of specialist Italian tanneries, with defined technical specifications and certifications available depending on the leather article and production batch.
WHAT IS CUSTOM LEATHER PRODUCTION?
Custom leather production is a flexible process that enables leather articles to be developed to technical specifications agreed with the customer. We tailor every aspect, from the type of hide or skin (calf, bovine, goat or lamb) and colour matching to the required finish and thickness.
This approach is ideal for:
- Prototypes and capsule collections
- Repeat production to agreed specifications
- Special leather articles not included in the standard catalogue
