The organisation
of the supply chain in Florentine leather goods
The beginning of the supply chain
The fashion sector has always been a driving force in the Florentine economy. Divided into leather goods, clothing and footwear. The sector has more than 3,000 companies and 19,000 workers actively involved in the creation of Made in Italy.
One third of the Italian leather goods sector is located in the province of Florence.
The production is mainly represented by leather goods such as bags, belts, wallets and travel items; and it is surrounded by other productions that are essential to the production chain: box factories, bag factories, metal and galvanic industries and much more.
This high-level leather production was born in the 1920s, when Gucci began to understand the potential of an area rich in craftsmanship and know-how in a production market in demand all over the world. This led to the creation of the supply chain that was consolidated in the 1990s, when other brands recognised the Florentine leather goods industry as a centre of excellence in craftsmanship.
The sector represents a real NETWORK OF LEATHER GOODS, both in Florence and in the surrounding areas, ranging from the supply of raw materials to technological equipment and know-how.
The supply chain relationships are established by the presence of a brand that triggers a production chain made up of first level suppliers and their subcontractors.
The supply chain network
When we talk about leather goods and the finished product, it is hard to perceive the work and steps involved in creating a leather model: shoes, bags, belts and accessories are the result of skilful manual craftsmanship that is carried out one after the other thanks to an organised supply chain resulting from experience and skill.
The Florentine leather goods district has always been considered a fundamental point for Made in Italy creation and production, which expresses its maximum value in the networked artisan supply chain.
The major luxury brands look for:
- Coordination of activities within the production process
- Technological and organisational innovation
- High quality standards
- Safety in the workplace
- Training and vision towards the future
