Preparation for Folding

Preparing the leather for folding is a crucial step for saving time and avoiding a process that can be cumbersome for the artisan when creating leather goods. In fact, a pre-folded piece allows for precise alignment without effort during the handling steps prior to assembling the finished product. Essential for the manufacture of bags, wallets, planners, and small leather goods alike, this step is suitable for all production volumes and all leather thicknesses. WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE? Pre-folding preparation involves softening the leather to facilitate the creation of a clean, precise, and durable fold. This step, performed either mechanically or manually depending on the workshop, helps prevent distortions that could compromise a piece’s appearance and durability.
