Our Leather
The Balsim family through its European roots have sustained relationships with leading Italian Tanneries going back generations – in decades or trading and hand-crafting only working with the best that the world has to offer Quality Ethical Production is the main code of conduct that in imbedded into the companies ethos.
All our leather is tanned in Italy in regions that have been known for the tanning of leather since Roman Times. All our leather suppliers (tanneries) have passed on their knowledge to new generations whilst employing new technology to advance quality, become increasingly environmentally friendly and sustainable.

All tanneries have approved water treatment plants as endorsed by the Italian Government and all skins are approved animal bi-products. All tanneries are quality assured and employ ethical production principles to all components of the leather production process. Due to this we work with Italian Leather Suppliers endorsed by the “Unione Nazionale Industria Conceria” the “National Union of Tanneries of Italy” and all our tanneries have “ISO” accreditation.
