New ostrich handbags at Gleni
Italy-based exotic leather handbag specialist Gleni has launched a new range of ostrich bags in response to growing demand.
"Our ostrich handbags have always been in demand at the top end of the market," said Gleni director, Arben Qoku, "and, until recently, we have made them exclusively to order. But now demand from our customers has persuaded us to keep a line of ostrich bags in stock, so that there is no waiting period."
According to the company, one advantage of ostrich leather over other exotic leathers, in terms of customs regulations, is that it is not classed as an endangered species and does not require the CITES documentation that python and crocodile do. As a result, it can be shipped from Europe to anywhere in the world without any delays.
The tanning process is crucial to the final feel of ostrich leather, as well as to the look of it and how well it takes and retains colour. "We believe in sourcing the very best materials for all our luxury handbags and by using this renowned Italian tannery for our ostrich skins, and then having them meticulously hand-crafted by experienced Italian artisans, we are able to produce luxury ostrich handbags to be truly proud of," said Mr Qoku.
