ZERO WASTE: our sustainable production model

The production process of Eledor bags is encapsulated in the ‘zero waste’ concept: a virtuous model, combining craftsmanship, respect for the environment and innovation in the production process. This approach is based on careful planning and a zero-waste philosophy, where every resource is used to its maximum potential.

The process begins with the selection of materials, from hides and skins (which in themselves represent natural animal waste) to end-of-stock pieces of fabric that are no longer used and recovered to create new products. This choice is essential to reduce the environmental impact from the earliest stages of production. Next, the design phase plays a crucial role: bags are designed not only to be aesthetically pleasing, but also to minimise material waste. This is achieved through careful pattern planning and the use of precise cutting techniques that optimise the use of fabrics.

During assembly, the focus is on efficiency and quality. The craftsmen use stitching techniques that not only ensure the durability of the product, but also minimise material waste. Any scraps are reused in other products or in the creation of decorative details, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Finally, the packaging of the bags follows the same principle of sustainability, using recycled or easily recyclable materials, avoiding those that are harmful to the environment.

In this way, the sustainable production of handmade bags is a concrete example of how tradition and innovation can be combined for a greener future. By adopting environmentally conscious practices, artisans demonstrate that it is possible to create high quality products without compromising the health of our planet.
