TECHNICAL LEATHER GUIDANCE FOR PREMIUM LEATHER GOODS

Smerilli Design Manufacturing supplies and sources selected leathers for bags, belts, wallets, accessories and small leather goods.

Leather goods require materials with different levels of body, flexibility, resistance and surface character. A structured bag may require firmness and dimensional stability, while a wallet or card holder may need a thinner, more flexible leather with a refined finish.

Our team assists with material selection according to the product’s construction, required thickness, structure, handfeel, finish, colour and intended use.

Suitable for:

Bags | Belts | Wallets | Card holders | Travel accessories | Luggage tags | Small leather goods | Sample collections | Product development | Small and medium production runs.

We help clients consider how a leather may perform within the proposed product and construction.

Material selection may include consideration of:

Thickness | Structure | Flexibility | Handfeel | Surface finish | Colour | Edge finishing | Resistance | Intended use | Production requirements

The structure required from a leather depends on the product and its construction.

Bags may require different levels of body, softness or support. Belts generally require strength and consistency, while wallets, card holders and small leather goods often require precision, flexibility and a clean surface.

Our structural assessment helps identify the material characteristics required before prototypes, samples or production materials are confirmed.
