Shebag has just completed its latest product update, listing many new Fall/Winter 2025-2026 (FW25/26) bags, including Balenciaga. Shebag’s advantages lie in its leather supply chain and skilled workers, which makes producing leather bags perfectly within our expertise. Balenciaga’s leather supply chain is much simpler than that of Hermès and Chanel; Balenciaga has almost no ranches of its own and uses leather from open-market channels.

Balenciaga (part of the Kering Group) is building its first dedicated leather goods production facility (approx. 10,000 square meters, including a training center) in Cerreto Guidi, Tuscany, Italy.

In its sustainability reports, Kering provides details on “country of origin and priority certifications” for these animal-derived leather materials. However, Balenciaga, unlike its sister brands in the group (like Gucci), has not published a detailed Tier 1 supplier list or specific tannery names. Remake World has noted that it still lags in supply chain disclosure.

While establishing its own or controlled production base (like the Italian factory) helps improve control over the mid-stream (manufacturing/assembly) part of the supply chain, the brand’s control over the “further upstream” segments—like raw material sources (farming, tanning, transport)—remains weak. It is widely noted in the industry that “responsibility and control at the upstream animal leather stage is the biggest challenge for traditional luxury brands today.”

It is precisely because Balenciaga uses an Italian supply chain for its leather that Shebag’s European leather traders can also easily find these same materials. Much of Balenciaga’s leather comes from Italian suppliers like Geelong Leather Italy Srl (located in Castelfranco di Sotto, Tuscany), Lorenz Shoe Group (a primary exporter of Italian sheepskin), and Varoma S.r.l.. Others include Germany’s BestHides GmbH and Häuser + Renner GmbH.
