In every industry, there are always clusters of expertise. The historic leather district of Igualada, near Barcelona, is one such cluster, famous for producing many of the world's finest leathers since 1340. Among these highly specialized tanneries, Curtidos Badia has always stood out as one of the very best. It is therefore no surprise that the tannery has been supplying many of the world’s most famous and exclusive luxury brands for decades. As we always strive for the highest quality and make no compromises in doing so, we visited the tannery and were fortunate enough to be able to enter into a partnership with this renowned establishment.

Curtidos Badia is not only interested in producing premium leathers. It cares about the entire supply chain. It is precisely for this reason that Curtidos Badia has received ICEC certification, which manifests its commitment to the traceability of the origin of raw hides, slaughterhouses, and the farms where the animals live. But the tannery goes a step further. The well-being of its employees also plays a major role. For this reason, the tannery applies the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, a set of internationally recognized labor standards based on the conventions of the International Labour Organization. Finally, Curtidos Badia collaborates with Alpinas, a social responsibility project that is committed to improving the quality of life and the integration of people with cognitive or developmental disabilities, enabling them to be employed in the company's productive activities.
