AFTER THE LONG PROCESS OF TANNING AND DYEING, WHICH TAKES PLACE UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF AN EXPERT, THE SELECTED LEATHER ARRIVES TO THE CUTTER, IT IS STRETCHED DOWN ON THE TABLE AND STRETCHED MANUALLY IN ALL ITS SIDES BY THE ARTISANS OF THE BRAND “ANDREANO”, TO STRETCH IT COMPLETELY. IN DOING SO WE OBTAIN SEVERAL LITTLE LEATHER SQUARES, INCHES AND “LONGETTE” INCLUDED, WHICH WILL GO GRADUALLY IN THE LONG STEPS OF PACKAGING, TO COMPOSE THE FINISHED ITEM. IN THIS FIRST PHASE OF ACTUAL PRODUCTION IT IS INDISPENSABLE THE ABILITY OF THE ARTISAN WHO EXTRACTS FROM THE LEATHER, AVOIDING ITS NATURAL IMPERFECTIONS, THE LARGEST NUMBER OF GLOVES WITH THE ONLY HELP OF THE SCISSORS AND RELATED CALLIPERS.
THE CREATION
DURING THE STARTING PHASE WE CARRY OUT THE DIGITALISATION OF THE DRAWINGS AND TEMPLATES TO CUT WITH THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS ABOUT SIZE AND COLORS.
THANKS TO THIS OPERATION, IT IS POSSIBLE TO CREATE THE RELATED TECHNICAL FILE “THE PAPER PATTERN” AND THE MATERIAL CONSUMPTIONS.
DURING THE MANUFACTURING PHASE, WITH A SPECIFIC CONTROL PROGRAMME, IT IS POSSIBLE TO VERIFY IN REAL TIME THE ORDER PROGRESS, GUARANTEEING SO AN HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY, ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODELS AND EXAMPLES ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC CUSTOMER NEEDS.
THE MANUAL ASSEMBLY IS A TECHNIQUE WHICH ALLOWS TO CREATE THE SAMPLE ON THE MOULD WITH CARE WHICH COMBINES AND ACCENTUATES THE LEATHER FEATURES.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PASSION AND EXPERIENCE OUR WORKFORCE ARE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE DETAILS FOR GLOVES WITH A TIMELESS LOOK.
THE STITCHING
THE WOMEN OF THE CREW ANDREANO, DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO THE STITCHING, BOTH MANUALLY AND WITH THE SEWING MACHINE, AND AS IS TRADITIONAL THEY ALSO TAKE CARE OF OTHER THORNY OPERATIONS, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE SETTING, THAT IS THE POLISHING AND THE STRAIGHTENING. THE GLOVE SEAMSTRESS ARE VERY TALENTED AND QUALIFIED ARTISANS; IT IS SUFFICIENT THINKING THAT FOR THE MACHINE SEWING, THERE ARE FOUR MAIN TECHNIQUES, FROM TIME TO TIME EMPLOYED ACCORDING TO THE GLOVE MODEL: STITCHING TOTALLY “HANDMADE”, STITCHING “SADDLER” OUTSIDE, STITCHING “STROCK” INSIDE, STITCHING “PIQUET” OVERLAPPING.
THE PACKAGING
EVERY PAIR OF GLOVES, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF MANUFACTURING FIND FINALLY AN ABODE INTO THE PACKAGING; THIS PHASE IS LAST ONLY IN THE ORDER OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, BECAUSE CARE AND ATTENTION BY WHICH THEY ARE ORGANIZED IN THE RESPECTIVE PACKAGING IS REALLY MANIACAL. DURING THIS LAST PHASE, THE STAFF DEDICATED TO THIS ACTIVITY, IN ADDITION TO THE SIZE AND PRODUCTS SUBDIVISION CARRY OUT THE LAST AND VERY IMPORTANT QUALITY CONTROL SO THAT EVERY SINGLE PAIR FOLLOW THE STANDARD IMPOSED BY THE ANDREANO FAMILY.
