Spain, manufacturer of the best leather and hides available in the market, is also the cradle of great designers. The area Elda-Petrer, home of Acabados Abellán, is a strategic valley for the manufacturing of footwear and accessories that both, Americans and the French, would dream of it. Not surprisingly, France (which claims to be the epicenter of global luxury) is our best customer with a total expenditure of almost 200 million euros a year. It seems that the most knowledgeable ones, when it comes to luxury, trust Spain.
The reasons for this increasing appreciation of the Made in Spain label are no accident, but the result of the strong commitment regarding quality, design and innovation this sector has been making for many years. The Made in Spain label is supported by an excellent Spanish manufacture, based on an ancient tradition- some people even date it back to the Romans- and it has been the basis of its economy. We also have high quality raw material, business fabric, skilled workers and what the manufacturers call ‘know-how’ (savoir faire).
For all these many reasons, the Made in Spain is a label which consumers value a lot. This is a trend that is evolving, thus, promoting an interesting phenomenon: increasingly prestigious firms entrust their productions located in the Vinalopó Valley, being not a coincidence that this valley is considered the birthplace of high quality shoes for women.
So now, many international prestigious brands and companies rely on Acabados Abellán for the quality, the security and competitiveness of our hides. We are heirs of a craft tradition of many years, with several generations dedicated to leather, and such a savoir faire that can adapt and serve the most exclusive orders.
Our main secret is to use high quality raw materials. From our star leather, called “Cordero País“- very appreciated worldwide- to our high quality veal and cowhides, as well as some more exotic ones. When we add to this care and patience, it is not surprising that some of the shoes with original hides from Acabados Abellán have walked from Hollywood´s red carpet to Buckingham Palace´s royal carpets. The same applies to the Spanish Royal Family, which has in Doña Letizia one of the great ambassadors of the products Elda- Petrer, in which she trust with great assiduity, not only in her daily life, but also to attend parties and official public events.
