Read some testimonials from our clients:

After many bad experiences, I finally found a serious, competent and reliable partner!

“I am in charge of representing and selling products of selected Italian companies in South Korea.
I got to know FAP ITALIA in June 2022.

Giorgio and Paola immediately made a good impression on me.

For me this is very important before starting a relationship with the company, to be sure I am talking to serious, experienced professionals who understand my needs.

I need quick feedback, as my customers are very demanding.

Although I had problems with some samples, Giorgio was quick to understand my problem and, even though he might not have done so, he immediately took action to find the solution and understand where the error was.

I have had bad experiences with other manufacturers in the past. In particular one in the Milan area who claimed to have the best quality and a luxury product, but in reality my customers were not satisfied.

Delivery times were also never met.

With other manufacturers in the Scandicci area who work for famous brands, I had a lot of problems with deliveries, and also with handling my requests and solving problems.

For these reasons I turned to FAP ITALIA, and I have absolutely no regrets.

I found a serious, competent and reliable partner.“

Sang Gune YI
President ‘BISE International’, Seoul, South Korea

Delivery time always respected. What can I say, excellent service

“I met Giorgio and Paola from FAP ITALIA in May 2016, going directly to their office in Trezzo sull’Adda, in the province of Milan.

Since then we have been collaborating actively and successfully for 8 years.

What immediately convinced us to entrust them with the production of our belts is the great passion with which they do their work and the care and cleanliness of their premises.

I can say with certainty that the quality of their belts is the best on the market.
We specialise in the sale of belts without buckles.
It is a special sector, aimed at customers who have certain requirements.

At FAP ITALIA I immediately found an excellent ally, capable of satisfying all my requirements.

The belts from FAP ITALIA are made from top-quality Italian leather, and the workmanship is excellent.

These aspects can be seen and felt to the touch.
We have never had any problems with delivery times. They have always been respected.

I consider the customer service of FAP ITALIA to be excellent.

They respond immediately to my requests, which is uncommon with other Italian suppliers.
I would definitely recommend other companies to use FAP ITALIA for the production of their belts, as they work honestly and are a reliable partner.“

Ryota MATSUKADO
Director CHILD CORPORATION LTD Fukuoka, Japan

It has always met 100% of its delivery deadlines

“I got to know FAP ITALIA in 2016, since when I have been in charge of European supplier management. We have been working together for eight years.

What particularly impressed me about FAP ITALIA was their quick response to our requests, the always on-time deliveries and the close cooperation with Paola. Together we have built a relationship of mutual trust. For all my needs, no matter how ‘special’, I can count on them.

FAP ITALIA is a good partner.

I am responsible for production follow-up and monitoring of delivery deadlines (KPI-Key Performance Indicators).

I have had some problems with other manufacturers in the past: they did not respond quickly to our questions and simply passed their problems on to us, leaving us alone to deal with them without any help to solve them.

They did not meet delivery deadlines, which had a negative impact on our sales plans. They did not take responsibility for delays, as they should have done.

With FAP ITALIA I never received any complaints about quality issues. This means that they have always delivered belts up to our expectations.

In all the 8 years of cooperation, FAP ITALIA has always respected delivery deadlines 100%. Even when we asked them to anticipate the deadline, they did so.

I consider FAP ITALIA’s customer service to be excellent in terms of quick response and problem solving, especially when we particularly needed it, saving us valuable time and a flurry of emails back and forth to monitor different situations.

I would definitely recommend FAP ITALIA as a supplier, as they are trustworthy and reliable.“

Joanna LAM
Production and Supply Chain Manager of SPARC FAR EAST LTD, Hong Kong

Consistency and speed. A reliable partner for more than 30 years

“I have worked for more than 40 years in the leather goods industry, therefore in the development of belts, leathers, metal accessories and buckles.

I have known FAP ITALIA and worked with them for more than 30 years. They are a guarantee.

What convinced me right from the start was their speed in understanding exactly what was needed for the products and their value for money.

At the beginning of my working life I had a negative experience with another supplier, who had supplied me with materials different from those I had requested.

So I was afraid that this might happen again, and that they would fail to meet very tight deadlines.

The aspects I appreciate most about FAP ITALIA are both the excellent quality and the very good price for the work they do.

Every hide and every process has its cost!

Moreover, one of the best things is that they always use new and up-to-date techniques, while still respecting super-fast delivery times.

If we talk about speed records, I can say that sometimes batches have been delivered in 10 days!

FAP ITALIA tries in every way to please customers with their needs and offer their support.

We chose to make belts with the ‘Perfect Stitching’ system to satisfy a very demanding brand, and I must say it was a success.

I recommend FAP ITALIA to everyone! You won’t regret it!”

Giovanni Mosca

What can I say: Pure love for 13 years!

“I met FAP ITALIA in 2011 during my collaboration with the brand ‘Dsquared2’, so we have known each other for 13 years.

Giorgio’s professionalism and experience convinced me from the very first meeting to entrust him with the production of my belts.
Unfortunately, I had bad experiences with other suppliers in the past, and I got burnt.

As it happens with all new suppliers, even before starting the relationship with FAP ITALIA I had the usual doubts about reliability and seriousness.

I judge the quality of FAP ITALIA to be special; very good at all types of construction, for both classic and more ‘fashionable’ looking belts, with refined and special workmanship.

Very responsive and responsive to all requests.

Delivery times are always correct on requests. Super fast, elastic and responsive for the sample book.
Development record: I showed up one Saturday morning with a sample to make for a fashion show, and by noon I was backstage at the fashion show with the belt made.

I love FAP ITALIA’s customer service. Their approach, always pro-active, serious, but with the polite lightness that makes the job enjoyable.

FAP ITALIA’s ‘Perfect Stitching’ system amazed me: I saw what everyone has been asking for come true!

What can I say: pure love!

I recommend FAP ITALIA, as I have always done, to anyone who wants to make belts, whether they are my clients or simply friends who ask me for advice.

I consider FAP ITALIA a very reliable reality, both in terms of quality and professionalism.“

Cristina Cella Ruolo
Senior Luxury Leather Consultant

Japan is a very demanding market, but with FAP ITALIA I always make a good impression

“I started the collaboration with FAP ITALIA in 2017.

Until then I had only bought belts in Japan and China, never in Italy.

But when I visited FAP ITALIA’s stand at the MIPEL Leather Goods Fair in Milan, I had a very good impression of all the staff, and of Paola in particular. Honest, kind and punctual people.

Since we are a Japanese company, we have difficulty finding partner-companies in Italy for reasons of quality, punctuality and precision in drawing up customs documents.

Japanese customs is very taxing and finicky.

Quality and punctuality are a MUST for us Japanese, and they have them!

Japan is a very demanding market. It demands quality products at low costs and on-time delivery.

For these reasons, we have always had great difficulty in finding the right partner. In addition, the language is a major obstacle.

In FAP ITALIA we have found a reliable partner, who meets our requirements and respects delivery deadlines.

Furthermore, I have never had any problems getting feedback from them, even if it is urgent.
I have never had to call them back.

The FAP ITALIA brand is renowned in Japan for excellent quality, efficiency and Italian style.“

Interesting! I want to know more about it

Dear friend,

You know as well as I do that the fashion world is ruthless. Even if your company is among the best in the world, you are forced to keep your guard up and always invent new ways to win over the public.

Customers are fickle, and even the most loyal ones are easily lured by proposals and offers from rival brands.

Therefore, I would like to help you include a special detail in your collection that will make your accessories irresistible.

Specifically, I am talking about a belt, and not just any belt.

Perhaps you are used to thinking that some defects in belts (even luxury belts) are unavoidable. Such as, for example, the fact that if you turn them over you can see on the back side small marks, which are the marks left by the needle that “broke through” the leather.

What if you could include flawless belts on both sides in your next collection?

Or better yet, a reversible belt, with two designs in one and such perfect stitching that it looks handmade?

It is not a mirage, nor is it a leatherworker’s fantasy.

This is exactly the result you can achieve with…

“Perfect stitching”: F.A.P. ITALIA’s patented system for defect-free double-faced belts

Through this particular processing method, you will gain numerous advantages:

MORE CUSTOMERS. You will produce even more valuable and attractive belts, real jewels that everyone will want.

MORE STYLE. You will be able to make your outfits stand out even more by complementing them with superior details.

MORE PRESTIGE. You will rise above the competition because of the perfection of your accessories.

MORE PROFITS. You will increase your profit margins on belts because you can raise your prices and be equally sure that customers will buy.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES. You will be able to beat your competitors to the punch or, if they are already offering double-faced belts, you will not be left behind.

The best stitching technique on the market

“I have known the company for 11 years, and what convinced me to choose FAP ITALIA for the production of my belts was both the quality of the products, but also the company philosophy pursued by Giorgio and Paola.

I had previously had experience with other suppliers, but I was not happy with them.

My concern was always that they could not produce large quantities as well as small batches, but I must say that they always surprised me positively!

If delivery times are sometimes longer, they are always respected. They never guarantee you a date they cannot reach.

I am happy to have a service that respects delivery times, a product that satisfies my customers and impeccable quality.

In addition, the customer service is impeccable. I especially appreciate that they take responsibility for any complaints and resolve them.

Thanks to the computerised cutting, I also particularly appreciate the perfection of the workmanship combined with a cost that is perfectly in line with their products.

I chose to make belts with the ‘Perfect Stitching’ system because I can show customers sensitive to this aspect the absolute best stitching technique on the market.

I would definitely recommend FAP ITALIA, as it is one of the few companies able to produce large quantities consistently with impeccable quality.“

KIM Younbin
Marketing Director GAMOK Company, South Korea

The style and quality of FAP ITALIA won me over right from the start. A 5 out of 5 star job

“I met FAP ITALIA about 5 years ago at a leather goods fair in Milan.

Last year, we decided to expand the assortment of our brand articles to include belts.

So we went to FAP ITALIA in 2024 to see the sample collection of belts, and we had the definitive confirmation of the excellent quality at a fair price.

This is the first time I have purchased belts for our brand.

I had researched at trade fairs in the sector, but the style and quality of FAP ITALIA definitively convinced me, as it is suited to our brand.

I judge the quality level of FAP ITALIA’s belts to be excellent – 5 out of 5 stars – especially the leather temples.

They have a very wide assortment of top-quality Italian leather.

In addition, their delivery times are excellent: we received the goods within a couple of weeks.

In addition, they have impeccable customer service.

I think the ‘Perfect Stitching’ system is a unique technology. That is why we decided to buy some models with this technique.

I would definitely recommend FAP ITALIA to other companies because of the excellent quality of its products and the serious professional approach in every detail of the negotiation, from the manufacturing to the materials, to the communication with the customer.“

Suleimen ZADIN
General Manager ESIL PREMIUM TOO, KAZAKHSTAN

After 20 minutes my work was ready. They are angels!

“I am a designer for international luxury brands.
I have known FAP ITALIA for at least 15 years, and every day I am surprised by their professionalism and passion. That is why I have always talked to the two owners about my ideas, which have always been listened to.

They combine great quality with the precision of their products.

In the past I have had bad experiences with other manufacturers, both in terms of quality and of prototypes that were never made. Not to mention the metalwork, which was really low quality.

With FAP ITALIA I have never had such problems, because they are serious professionals who keep their promises.

My job is also to create accessory collections for my customers with a precise theme, so all the more reason for me to have a reliable partner with the right hand.

Delivery times have always been respected. I once phoned Giorgio at 1pm, and after 20 minutes the package with the belt had been picked up by our courier for delivery!

Rely on FAP ITALIA, because they will help you both in terms of production and organisation!“

Cristina SAPPA

Interesting! I want to know more about it

And that’s not all. I have not yet told you about the most important aspect!

By relying on F.A.P. ITALIA you will not only be able to create wonderful and perfect belts, but you will also solve in one fell swoop all the problems you have had in the past with other manufacturers.

To prove it to you, let me tell you more about us.

Here’s why you should choose F.A.P. ITALIA for your belt production

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Giorgio Stamerra, I am the Managing Director of F.A.P. ITALIA srl, and for 30 years now I have been producing high quality and truly MADE IN ITALY leather belts for the most famous luxury brands, such as Cartier, Montblanc, Dunhill, S.T.Dupont, Roberto Cavalli, Dsquared2, F.lli Rossetti and many, many others.

Our flagship technology is “Perfect Stitching”, which, thanks to a special process and proprietary machinery (patent-protected), allows leather to be stitched and pierced without burrs or imperfections on either side.

But this is only the most conspicuous of our many characteristics.

We are the only company in the industry to have brought Swiss punctuality and the precision of the Toyota model to Italy.

We have adapted the Lean Production system to the leather goods industry, creating the Fap Italia System. In other words, we adopt rigorous, scientifically designed procedures to increase speed and reduce the likelihood of error.

This translates into:

Production and delivery in record time

We produce about 4,000 pieces per day, an unattainable quantity for ordinary manufacturing companies. In addition, we can create a new sample book in as little as 5 days and deliver the complete order to you within 60 days.

Perfect belts

Our belts are distinguished by a total lack of defects: impeccable and durable edge dyeing, perfect stitching, totally centered and burr-free tips, artful doming and holes (and so on…) are our trademark. The same quality as hand-sewn belts, but on an industrial level!

100% Made in Italy. For real

We use only the highest quality Italian leather, from raw hides from the European Community (certified and sourced from farms located in deforestation-free territories). In addition, every step in the processing of one of our belts is carried out in our factory in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan).

Custom machining

Through the combination of manual processing and processing performed with innovative proprietary machines (modified by us), we are able to create products of the highest quality and superior value.

Zero bad surprises

We are “inquiry-proof”. With us you will find efficiency, order, cleanliness, safety, respect for rules and attention to employee welfare. Additionally, we have successfully passed the SMETA-Audit.

Discretion and confidentiality

We consider ourselves bound by professional secrecy. At the request of the client, production may take place behind closed doors, and secrecy is protected by NDAs and specific “anti-spy” procedures.

Double guarantee “no excuses”

If you find even the slightest difference from the master, or any factory defect, you can return the imperfect belts to us, and we will remake them for free.

What’s more, if you don’t receive the goods within 60 days of your order, we offer you a 5% discount for each week of delay. It doesn’t matter if it is our fault or because of the courier or even if it has to do with our raw materials supplier… The burden is never put on you!

As you see, you have nothing to fear. You can rely on us with total peace of mind.

Our most valuable partners, the pride of the Italian supply chain

“Giorgio and FAP ITALIA have been our valuable and reliable partners for more than 10 years!

We work together on the development of accessories collections, and they are always at our side helping us to turn our ideas into solutions.

They have helped us look for the best solutions, supporting us in research and implementation, in the often challenging timelines and in achieving cost and industrialisation targets, without penalising quality and the original creative idea.

Companies like FAP ITALIA are the pride of the Italian supply chain, and we are happy to have the opportunity to tap into its valuable resources.“

Rada Cirlan
DSQUARED2 S.p.a.

Reliability and Innovation. They have definitely exceeded our expectations

“Since we started working with FAP ITALIA in 2011, our experience has definitely been transformative.

The transition to FAP ITALIA was a crucial move to overcome the difficulties we had experienced with our previous supplier.

What convinced us to choose them was the superior quality of their products, their competitive pricing and their delivery reliability.

In addition to these fundamental qualities, FAP ITALIA stands out for its innovative samples and ability to continuously renew its production systems, from construction to operations.

I appreciate immensely their promptness in responding to my requests, always guaranteeing the respect of established delivery times.“
