BACKGROUND
Perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, leather production in Italy is an art that is zealously protected by tanners. Leading designers from across the world flock to Lineapelle to source the best leather. For Italian tanners and their customers, improved environmental credentials, and lower costs are worthless if the quality of leather doesn’t meet the desired standard.
Qualus’unique patented system has successfully produced leather for a broad range of footwear applications, including for high-end luxury brands, while significantly reducing water and chemicals for retanning.
