Careful research and selection of leathers are essential for the manufacture of ANGELA BARBIERI handbags.

The beauty of leather is essential to enhance the creative vision and work of artisans.


The leathers used by Angela Barbieri are ISO 9001 certified, their quality is checked several times by the tanneries and artisans from cutting the patterns to manufacturing.

The leather used for the collections comes exclusively from the food industry: rather than being thrown away, the skins are entrusted to tanneries.

This is why no exotic leather is used to make Angela Barbieri bags; the crocodile and lizard versions are obtained by embossing: a technique which inscribes the scale patterns in relief on the surface of the leather.
