Production of bags and small leather goods

Leather goods manufacturers since 1985

Founded in the 1980s by Elio and David Contigiani, Elda Trade is an outstanding example of genuine leather bag manufacturing, and is the result of an ambitious joint venture to combine craftsmanship and tradition by means of a company with international reach.

Starting out as a small family business, the company has developed into a mainstay of the Italian leather goods industry for contract bag manufacturing and is able to successfully intercept the needs of an ever-changing market.

Today, Elda Trade boasts over 3,000 sales outlets in 44 countries, with exports accounting for 75% of turnover, embodying Italian excellence worldwide.

Quality leather goods manufacturer

Our experience and dedication in the world of artisanal leather goods sets us apart in the production of genuine leather bags and small leather goods for third parties. The decision to use vegetable-tanned leather is a distinctive selling point.

We prefer this type of leather because the manufacturing process is kinder to the environment and the qualities of the leather are preserved. We work closely with the Vera Pelle Italiana consortium to guarantee that the leather meets high quality standards thanks to a manufacturing process that not only respects the environment, but also ensures products improve over time. Vegetable-tanned leather is symbolic of our uncompromising dedication to quality – a value that Elda Trade is proud to promote in each of its collections.
