Leather goods made in Italy

The Romagna company Campomaggi is aiming for the USA. The positive export trend in 2022 pushes big brands to evolve and grow in new continents, an unthinkable action in the 90s.

The company specializing in made in Italy leather goods at the head of the CAMPOMAGGI and CATERINA LUCCHI brands closes its 2022 turnover at 23 million euros, growing by 8% and forecasting growth of 6/8%, focusing on the American market.

 

 

“This year is a little different because inflation has slowed down consumption but, at the same time, a clear growth is emerging in the USA regarding the Campomaggi brand compared to other areas such as Europe and the UK, where historically we have always had good results,” the founder told Pambianconews. As evidence of this, the company is investing in the brand of the same name, strengthening the e-commerce channel of which it has become the main country.

Leather goods are one of the most important sectors of the Italian manufacturing industry. Italy is renowned worldwide for producing high-quality leather products, such as bags, shoes, belts, wallets and leather clothing.

The numbers relating to the export of Italian leather goods are generally very positive. In 2022, the export of leather products and leather goods reached 11.8 billion euros, recording an increase of 4.1% compared to the previous year. This has helped position Italy as the world's second largest exporter of leather products, after China.

The origins of leather processing, as we know it today, are very ancient. Paradoxically, we have to go back to prehistoric times, when our ancestors used the hides of hunted animals to cover themselves. Immediately the animal skin was very resistant, insulating and easy to treat. Clearly the techniques have been perfected forward to avoid decomposition and alteration. We must get to the Romans when leather is used to create accessories of different sizes and colors
