Material Innovation
Colour
within.
RIPRESA ITALY has developed a transfer-print approach for natural and synthetic leather. The process is designed to express complex colour while considering the hand, character and performance of the original material.
The process
Where chemistry meets craft.
01
Full-colour expression
Complex motifs and tonal variation across the leather surface.
02
Material character
A process developed with the texture and qualities of leather in mind.
03
Performance research
Exploring water repellency, durability and colour fastness.
04
Material range
Natural leather and wet- or dry-process synthetic leather.
The material
Colour, held by leather.
A close study of the house signature: natural grain remains visible beneath expressive colour, framed by brogue perforations, stitched edges and metal detailing.
