The Tannery: Conceria Opera srl, Santa Croce sull’Arno (Pisa), Italy

• The Opera tannery has been a family operation for over 30 years in Tuscany, Italy. Their primary focus has been on suede leathers.
• Being part of the "Leather Working Group" demonstrates Operas focus on environmental stewardship.
• What is Split Suede leather?
• Suede is made from the corium, a sub-layer of leather. First, a full grain leather hide is split in two parts, the suede being the underside. This procedure creates a thin, soft, flexible leather. The leather is then 'sanded' which creates the soft and fuzzy texture that is a key characteristic of suede.
• Benefits of suede: flexibility, softness, breathability, durability.
• The Go Rain Max article is a premium suede leather for shoes, bags, jackets, and accessories.
• Water resistant: Go Rain and other articles are water resistant. Air can pass through, but water cannot.
