The skins have to be put through a series of treatments using particular substances that once adhered are irreversible, thus guaranteeing the conservation without alternating the softness and flexibility of the skin.

This operation is called Tanning (as well as the use of special machinery) most of the work is done manually, because without the sensitivity of human intervention during the phases of heat graduation, humidity, tension, and tint, one wouldn't be able to achieve such a total transformation from a nonentity to something that astonishes, because during the various phases that start from the unprocesssed skin (insignificant to whom isn't competent in the matter), to the extraordinary brilliant shine when the skin is ready to be manufactured, there is an unbelievable difference.

Tanning represents the first stage in the preparation of the skin, a treatment that must adhere to certain regulations prohibiting the use of azoic dyes and other poisonous substances.
The tanneries that supply us with the reptile skins (that form the upper part of the belt), as well as the bovine skins ( that form the inner part of the belt), guarantee with a declaration that the materials conform to current Italian law.
