Rino Mastrotto Pomari
Since its founding in the late 1950s, Rino Mastrotto has grown from a small family tannery into a globally recognised leader in luxury leather production — and Pomari, based near Vicenza in Italy, represents the pinnacle of that legacy.
Known for its precision, consistency, and refined craftsmanship, Pomari has become a trusted partner to some of the world’s top luxury houses. What sets them apart is their ability to balance tradition with modern responsibility — preserving true Italian craftsmanship while embracing innovation and sustainable practices.
Splenda is a family-run Spanish tannery based in the city of Igualada (Barcelona province) that has produced vegetable-tanned leather for nearly a century. The company itself describes its origins going back to the 1930s and positions itself as an artisanal tannery that has remained in Igualada’s traditional tanning district.
From the beginning Splenda specialized in vegetable tanning — using plant extracts such as mimosa and quebracho — which gives its leathers a compact but supple fibre structure and the capacity to develop a rich patina over time. Their catalogue and product descriptions show this long use of classic vegetable tannages across lines such as “Classic,” “Soft Bom,” “Kansas” (pull-up), and sole leather.
