APPLE SKIN & ECO-NAPPA MADE IN ITALY
The factory founded by our APPLE SKIN supplier is located about twenty kilometers from Florence, Italy . This material is made by coagulation of polyurethane and organic apple matter.
A bio-sourced and innovative material, the APPLE SKIN is produced from apples ( waste) grown in the orchards of Bolzano, in northern Italy. Dried and ground into powder, it is sent to the factory in Florence to be transformed into APPLE SKIN.
The cereal -based material we use in the manufacture of our shoes is produced in a factory located on the outskirts of Milan .
OUR FIVE MANUFACTURING WORKSHOPS
We work with 5 manufacturing workshops .
All our products, bags, accessories, shoes and clothing are handmade by skilled workers in human-sized workshops, where ethics, innovation and employee well-being are at the heart of their concerns.
Three are located in Portugal , two for bags and accessories , one for shoes .
A workshop in France , located in Paris, which makes our jackets and coats .
Our historic leather goods manufacturing workshop is located in Thailand .
Today, around 70% of our production is European.
It is important for us to produce the majority of our items in Europe, but maintaining a presence in Thailand is a real asset, both in terms of know-how and the modernity of the tools and techniques used.
And when possible, we manufacture the items, especially the clothing, in France, in Paris. Of course, this is truly made in France, not " assembled in France ." We are talking about " 100% French " manufacturing.
We build real relationships with the suppliers who work with us, we know them, we regularly visit them to monitor our production.
Each bag or accessory made in the factory is checked, which guarantees us consistent quality.
“CUSTOM-MADE” CLASPS
We have joined forces with a French family business ( located in the Yonne department) which, for 3 generations, has been creating, developing and producing metal accessories for the biggest leather goods and ready-to-wear brands.
Our partner works from our drawings and sketches. He studies and defines the technical constraints related to the operation of the part.
He then creates a 2D drawing, which is followed by a 3D print. Then comes the final step: manufacturing the custom brass part to mount it on the bag during the prototyping phase.
