Leather
Hard-wearing, durable and 100 per cent natural – when it comes to leather garments, shoes and accessories, Closed counts on specialists with decades of experience in the production and processing of this premium material. Our leathers are sourced from selected Italian and Portuguese tanneries. Whether smooth, degrained leather or suede, the longer you wear it, the better it looks. It will develop a delicate patina and last a lifetime if you take care of it properly.
Our shoes are made in Italy from selected leather sourced from traditional tanneries in Tuscany. We source our leather for bags and accessories from selected Italian and Portuguese tanneries. All handbags are made in Portugal.
We only use leather that is a by-product of the food industry. No chemical additives are used in the tanning process, instead the leathers are tanned with vegetable substances that are chrome-free, sustainable and biodegradable.
