Fabrics selected for international B2B markets
Villani Leonello offers a focused selection of sustainable and technical fabrics for professional product development and manufacturing.
The range is intended primarily for companies operating in footwear, leather goods, accessories, bookbinding and textile-covered packaging.
Through catalogues, samples and available technical information, Villani Leonello supports design teams, purchasing departments and product developers in evaluating:
- composition and weight;
- fabric structure and hand feel;
- available colours and finishes;
- treatments, coatings or laminations;
- certifications and supporting documentation;
- compatibility with the intended production process;
- suitability for the final application.
Characteristics must be verified for each individual article, as composition, construction, finishes and available documentation may vary from one fabric to another.

Before Using a Fabric in Production
Before confirming a fabric for production, we recommend:
- checking the latest information available for the selected reference;
- requesting a physical sample;
- evaluating hand feel, color, weight, and compatibility with the intended substrate;
- carrying out cutting, sewing, bonding, or lamination tests;
- testing the fabric using the intended manufacturing process.
Technical documentation and any available certifications may vary according to the composition, collection, and individual reference.
Customers should therefore request the current information relating specifically to the fabric they intend to evaluate.
