The company operates in the well-known Leather District, a specific area of Tuscany today recognized as a center of excellence for leather goods production
Arké, based in Tuscany, is a vegetable tannery specialized in the tannage and production of shoulders, double butts and calves, in different thickness, for the leather goods, footwear, belt, saddlery and furniture industries.
The Sordi’s and Dolfi’s families, founders of Arké and tanners since the 1950s, have joined their expertise and today can offer leather skins that are the result of a perfect combination of craftmanship, ancient recipes and advanced technologies that can fully meet the requests of the contemporary market.
With a strong commitment to implement processes that are eco-friendly and sustainable, they produce vegetable and metal free tanned leather with very limited use of chemical products which are rigorously controlled to comply with the REACH regulations.Their mission is to produce leathers with a reduced environmental impact but still high performing.
The raw hides are the by-product of the meat industry and are sourced from certified farms. The 93% of the used water goes to a centralized purifier, which purifies the water and disposes of the solid residues.
Arké has strong product development and market research teams that allow them to innovate and expand their quality offerings. Working closely with their customers at every step of the process from barrel to shipment to find the best solutions, Arké is not just a supplier but a reliable, trusted partner.
