This is how we managed to find a consolidated tanning and leather care company, called Curtiplax de México S.A de C.V, which presented us with a series of samples, which were approved by our artisans.

This material cost almost 50% less than our other suppliers, because the material It is supplied by small farmers, passing the skins of the livestock practically to our warehouses.

The company Curtiplax de México S.A de C.V, uses a more technical tanning technique, saving on materials such as chromium, producing a high cost reduction, obtaining an exceptional result, which increased the quality of our footwear.

It is due to the urgency of the manufacture of footwear that this material was acquired, but as a logical effect, costs were reduced by 45 o 50% of the previous budget, which is why there has been a surplus of material and an increase in costs during the latter two months.
