MADE IN ITALY

Alcantara is produced in Italy, in the town of Nera Montoro, located in the hills of Umbria. From this location, the material is supplied to premium brands all over the world. The Italian origin stands for craftsmanship, strict quality control and decades of material expertise.

Alcantara has the look and feel of suede, but it is not made from animal skins. The material consists of 32% polyurethane and 68% polyester. This composition makes it approximately 50% lighter than comparable leather, while remaining extremely strong and durable.

Thanks to its structure, Alcantara is resistant to wear, easy to maintain and designed for intensive use. It combines softness with strength, making it suitable for both everyday handling and demanding environments.
