Traditional craftsmanship and digital innovation: the evolution of the leather goods sector in Italy.

The Italian leather goods sector is renowned for its craftsmanship and its tradition of excellence. For centuries, Italian craftsmen have worked leather with passion and dedication, creating products that have become synonymous with style and quality all over the world.

Today, the Italian textile sector boasts an ever-increasing digital presence, which translates into greater demand from small and large industries alike for machinery that can keep up with the fast pace of the market.

Printing on leather has become an increasingly popular technique in the leather goods industry, as it allows unique details, designs and customisation to be added to leather products such as bags, shoes, accessories and even garments. The unprecedented creative flexibility that this method offers allows designers to create high-quality, innovative garments that stand out on the market.
