The white-tailed deer

We only work with those who respect this animal and the legislation regarding the hunting of it.

Deerskin has unique natural characteristics. It is soft, breathable, flexible and extremely resistant even to mechanical forces.

Its very low specific weight allows the creation of light and comfortable products.

The softness, delicacy and the grain, after processing, are very evident and this makes each finished garment special and unique.

Imperfections and small defects are not to be considered as negative elements but as certification of the naturalness of the leather.

The deer skins processed by BIESSEUNO SRL come from North America. Deerskin was used in the past by Native Americans to create garments and artifacts necessary for their daily life.

They are wild animals hunted in a controlled and respectful manner within the limits set annually by the individual States on the basis of censuses.

The deer population in the absence of natural predators tends to grow in an almost uncontrolled way, with damage to agriculture. This planned and necessary killing is concentrated in a particular temporal space of November / December and is carried out through the activity of hunters, who hunt to stock up on meat as is traditional in these States.

The skins are considered a waste product.

The hides collected in the months of January / February are pre-tanned in the United States according to the old traditions in use for more than 100 years.

From this follows for our tannery the need to purchase the annual leather requirement only at the beginning of the year.

LA BIESSEUNO SRL only processes high quality leathers which are about 40% of each original batch made available by American suppliers. The first choice already takes place in the countries of origin.

The subsequent production phases take place exclusively in Italy at our two factories.
