Virgilio Conceria - Italy

Quality leather from Italy - traditional, vegetable tanned aniline leather.

The owner Simone Nieri says: " My passion and love for this job is part of my dna, and thanks to my wife's grandfather Osvaldo and his teaching, a tanner since 1961 who is one of the few hand fleshers still living, I have been able to undertake this path which has given me satisfaction because from waste in the food sector, ( raw leather) with the help of ancestral tanning techniques, we are able to transform into a precious and appreciated product worldwide, for its features, this is veg tanned leather".
Nothing is neglected or left to chance: research and testing are always daily agenda and thanks to research, we have brushed up a long-standing tanning system called " slow bathing tanning". In this type of tanning process, "Time" is the crux of leather which has unique features, a symbol of a handcrafted product which totally represents us. Fattened with animal tallow, a guarantee for clients who produce footwear, belts, bags, suitcases and other small accessories. Whether the finished products are smooth, hot air dried or printed, they are the result of creativity and elegance which follow the fashion trend. Colours mutiply at the same pace as renewed working processes.

The natural result of our leather, which is finished with aniline, are characterized by small differences in shades, and make each skin particular and unique.

Our raw material is leather coming from France, Switzerland and Norway which we pruchase after a thorough selection. Tanning has been our job for the past 60 years. Our strong points are production, reliability and high quality, where the leading role is always leather.
