This is a small town in the southern part of the Netherlands called Donchen. Here is the factory of Echo Leather, a subsidiary of Echo, which manufactures leather products.
Echo handles everything from tanning to shoe manufacturing in its own factories. This is a major difference from other shoe brands and a strength unique to Echo.
What is surprising is that Echo Leather supplies leather not only to Echo, but also to other brands. The ratio of leather supplied to the company and to other companies is approximately 50-50. The company supplies to a wide range of brands, including the world's most prestigious luxury brands, as well as bag brands and sports brands. Among the suppliers, there is even the name of Apple Inc! Echo Leather's leather is actually used for the leather cases of iPhones and iPads.
How is it possible to produce leather of such high quality that even Apple approves of? We went into the factory to find out the secret.
