Printed and embroidered furs and leathers

What are your markets?
“Above all Italy, but in general Europe and the US, where we are currently strengthening our presence. We have also noted a significant interest in our products by Asian operators, this thanks to our participation at the APLF and ACLE trade fairs in Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. This latter market had great potential and we intend on entering into it as a protagonist.”
