The company’s small but articulate range of handbags has diversified over time into leather garments
and
footwear. The small design section and manufacturing unit of 15 artisans has developed into a full
grown
design studio and three dedicated facilities specialized in tanning, leather goods manufacturing and
leather
garments manufacturing encompassing more than 2,000 craftsmen.
In recent years, the company has maintained its manufacturing and craftsmanship heritage while at
the same
time it has evolved into an international brand and a retail company with driven business model.
DESA has
expanded consistently and now owns and operates 70 retail shops across Turkey, as well as more than
200
shop-in-shops located across the world.
The heritage of DESA lies in making and creating unique and tasteful leather products. Having a
strong
design team that treats leather as if it was textile and creating an environment in which designers
can
collaborate with the craftsmen is the key to the success of DESA.
DESA’s operations include a tannery, two plants for production of leatherwear, handbags and
accessories.
DESA’s innovative and integrated approach distinguishes it from others in the industry. It owns and
controls
the entire production process from premium raw hide to finished product, utilizing its own tannery
and
production facilities. These integrated manufacturing facilities combine traditional handcrafted
techniques
with the newest technological advances, enabling DESA to produce the highest quality leather
products in the
most flexible, innovative and efficient way possible.
DESA is a public company trading in Istanbul Stock Exchange with “DESA” code since May 2004.
