Brazil counts as the world’s largest commercial herd force, making it an inexhaustible source for the leather industry.

Of this immense production, more than 80 nations around the world choose leather made in Brazil. But it’s not just the abundance that attracts, it’s the mastery with which it is produced. Brazilian tanneries use state-of-the-art technology but are also based on a centuries-old tradition of leather production. Dedicated families have passed down their techniques and secrets from generation to generation, with around 30,000 people working passionately in the art of leather tanning in Brazil.

Brazil recognizes that being the biggest isn’t enough; you have to be the best. The Brazilian leather industry invests tirelessly in ensuring that every article produced is synonymous with excellence.
