Why Our Leathers for Shoe Manufacturers are the Ideal Choice: An Analysis of Benefits and Characteristics
The essence of the Durli brand is the dialog between technological innovation and artisanal leather-making techniques; between art and science in the transformation of natural hides into leather for the most demanding requirements of the footwear and artifacts market.
But our essence is also the pursuit of sustainability at every stage of the manufacture of our leathers and the responsible sourcing of our raw materials.
Below, we'll take a look at the features and benefits, proving why our leathers for shoe manufacturers are the ideal choice.
Analyzing the characteristics: why our leathers for shoe manufacturers really are the ideal choice.
Durli has an entire leather production line exclusively geared towards the needs of shoe manufacturers. High quality leathers with optimum flexibility, suppleness and resistance and the most diverse styles at competitive prices.
It is a five-stage process, involving:
1 - Preparation of the skins;
2 - Optimal choice of tanning agents;
3 - Transformation of the hides into wet blue leather, with quality consistency forming the perfect base for the next stages, with improved absorption of the following formulations;
4 - Retanning the wet blue to produce the crust or semi-finished product, which will often be used directly by the shoe manufacturers themselves. The semi-finished product acquires the desired color, softness and characteristics with the dye going through the entire skin with intensity of color, homogeneity and standardization of the color throughout its thickness.
5 - Finished, or final stage, when the necessary finishes are applied to achieve the characteristics and effects desired by clients in terms of aesthetics and resistance, with the possibility of varying patterns and textures.
Standardization and certifications
First and foremost, the parts obtained in this meticulous process strictly follow formulations, technical criteria and the highest international standards such as LWG Gold and ISO 9001.
Undoubtedly, this exclusivity guarantees them standardization, uniformity, stability, reliability, flexibility, malleability and resistance for the manufacture of the highest quality shoes and bags and on-trend styles.
Traceability and geomonitoring
Durli's raw materials are responsibly sourced and supervised on a daily basis through satellite geomonitoring, which makes it possible to verify the environmental compliance of direct and indirect suppliers.
Geomonitoring is combined with a pioneering individual traceability system. Each piece is monitored from its source.
Durli therefore supplies footwear and artifact manufacturers with leathers produced through highly ethical and totally transparent processes, with documentation proving their origin.
It is well known that sustainability and respect for the environment are a demand of the market in general, but it is also a strong reason why our leathers are the ideal choice for shoe manufacturers.
