Regenerated Leather

Regenerated leather is a sustainable material made by recovering scraps of vegetable-tanned leather and natural latex. OREL uses salpa to produce technical components for footwear, such as counterforts and reinforcements, combining durability, quality, and environmental responsibility.
Salpa sheets can be manufactured in various thicknesses and customized with finishes and colors on one or both sides. In some cases, they are laminated with fabrics to improve adhesion and structural stability. This solution is particularly suitable for classic and artisanal footwear, where durability and reliability are essential.
Thanks to its workability and versatility, salpa is an excellent choice for those seeking eco-friendly materials for Made in Italy footwear, capable of ensuring consistent performance and excellent value for money.

Leather

Leather for footwear is one of the finest materials used by OREL in the production of counterforts and toe caps, prized for its natural properties of durability, flexibility, and breathability. Rich in collagen, leather ensures long-lasting performance while maintaining the comfort and quality of the finished product.
Derived from by-products of the food industry, it represents an eco-friendly choice that reduces environmental impact by valuing a renewable resource. OREL processes leather with artisanal care and attention to detail, embracing its natural irregularities that lend uniqueness and authenticity to each component.
The Made in Italy leather materials for footwear by OREL are a symbol of excellence, durability, and tradition—ideal for projects that demand elegance, reliability, and timeless style.
