The atelier
One roof in Sidi Ghanem.
Cutting, skiving, edge finishing, assembly, closing, finishing and packing all happen in the same building. Nothing is passed to a broker, which is why a question about stitch count gets an answer the same day.

What we do here,
and what we do not.
Being straight about the second list is more useful than a long first one.
01
Cutting
Clicker press and die cutting for volume; hand cutting for hides where grain direction has to be chosen panel by panel.
02
Skiving & splitting
Edge and channel skiving so folds sit flat and seams do not build bulk at the corners.
03
Edge finishing
Painted, burnished or folded edges. Multiple coats with sanding between, which is where cheap bags give themselves away.
04
Stitching
Flat-bed, cylinder-arm and post-bed machines, plus hand saddle-stitching where a style calls for it.
05
Hardware setting
Riveting, eyeletting, magnet and foot setting, with pull tests on the first units of every run.
06
Branding
Embossing, debossing and foil stamping in house. Custom dies made to your artwork and kept for repeats.
07
Finishing & packing
Cleaning, stuffing, dust bags, tags, barcodes and carton packing to your retail spec.
08
Pattern & sample room
A separate sample room, so prototypes never compete with a live production run for a machine.
09
Quality control
An inspection team that does not report to the production manager, so a fail cannot be overruled by a deadline.
We partner for
- Tanning and finishing of hides
- Custom hardware moulds and plating
- Jacquard weaving for linings and tapes
- Third-party laboratory testing
Partners are named in your bill of materials. You can visit them with us.
Come and look
The floor is the proof.
Photographs can be staged. A walk through the cutting room on a normal Tuesday cannot. We will show you a run in progress, including one that is not going perfectly.
