We are in Istanbul, at the very factory where everything is produced.
In different cities and countries you will always be offered leather goods and furs -
different options, different prices, different "legends".
But today we are in Istanbul and we are in the factory where all this is actually produced.
And we will show not a showcase, but a process:
raw materials → cutting → sewing → final finishing → quality control → packaging/export.
Raw material warehouse: python, crocodile, sheepskin, lamb and various types of tanning
First, let's take a look at the depot where the raw materials are stored.
There may be a python, a crocodile, raw lambskin,
different finishes and textures.
This is the very moment when you realize:
tomorrow this “piece” will become a jacket, a sheepskin coat, a belt,
a wallet or even a handbag made of crocodile.
Let's start with Python.
Yes, it's a real python. And yes, it's red because it's colored.
Red pythons do not exist in nature, it is simply a color on request.
Nearby is a seal. The raw materials are purchased/supplied from Canada,
and then it is delivered to Turkey so that a product can be made from it for you.
Next comes the tascana, merino, skins with a beautiful sheen,
Lambskin (Napa) - soft and pliable.
There is a special magic in this:
from scraps brought from different countries,
The result is an exclusive item.
How to identify genuine leather (as described in the video)
In short, genuine leather returns to its shape after deformation.
Another “folk” method of testing that is often mentioned is the lighter test.
And the main point: real leather lives, feels and behaves differently.
And yes, here it is - the crocodile.
From such raw materials you can make a handbag, wallet, belt or even shoes.
We will also show you raw materials for sheepskin coats, including options with printed prints,
for example, "leopard print".
We have already said many times: any print can be applied to natural materials.
Patterns and cutting: from pattern to product
The next stage is patterns and designs.
This is delicate work: mistakes cannot be tolerated.
The raw materials are cut, the details are formed, and then everything goes into sewing.
It’s immediately obvious that the masters are doing this more than once.
The movements are confident, the speed is high, the hand is trained over the years.
Sewing workshop: high flow and manual work
This is the sewing workshop. It's very big, there are a lot of people.
Here you see the scale of production and understand,
Why is the selection in the store "one model is better than the other."
The fabrics are also real:
For example, cashmere, Loro Piana fabrics are a world-class brand.
These fabrics are used to make clothes, coats, shoes – everything serious.
Each fabric has its own code.
Everything is organized to the maximum:
samples, templates, patterns - absolutely everything is sewn using them.
You can see the sheepskin coats in the process of sewing on the sleeves,
elements that pass "along the chain" from master to master.
A separate point is the number of patterns.
There are really a lot of them, they are everywhere.
This is direct proof that there are many models, not just “in words”.
The final stage: quality control and manual finishing
Next comes the final stage of production.
This is where quality control and fine-tuning takes place.
The work is manual, not automated.
Each fur coat, each piece of fur is cleaned by hand.
Every millimeter is painted.
Every thread is checked and any defect is corrected immediately.
Quality control goes through several stages.
After inspection, the products are sent to packaging.
and are then sent either for sale or for export
(the video mentions that some of it is going to America - "between us").
Computerized pattern technology: the machine draws and cuts itself
Another important block is the production of patterns on a computer.
Previously, patterns were made entirely by hand,
and now part of the process is performed by computer technology.
The operator enters data,
the machine draws,
and then makes a computer cutout.
Millimetric precision, perfect marking:
number, size, which piece, which part of the garment.
Fur production: third floor, fur warehouse and finished products
We go up to the third floor – fur production.
First they show the fur warehouse:
mink, chinchilla, sable, karakul and other types of fur.
The video says it directly:
There is no fur in Turkey - it is all imported,
purchased at auctions.
They show a sable (the video mentions the Barguzin sable),
arctic fox, mink of different shades,
lynx, karakul/swakara, chinchilla.
There are natural and dyed colors.
Next are the finished products and final inspection:
mink coats are being checked, karakul vests,
products undergoing final preparation before
How to get into the room where they will try them on and choose.
It is especially emphasized:
mink - whole, not in pieces.
Further you can see overlock/sewing and finishing operations.
Result
We saw the entire process: from raw materials to the finished product.
And this is truly the “holy of holies” – the place where things are created,
which may already be in your wardrobe tomorrow.
