The Case Factory is a Stockholm based company with

an Italian heritage dating back to 1907. We specialize in

handcrafting exclusive leather cases for mobile phones,

tablets and portable computers. These devices are used

by a broad spectrum of the population, and apart from

just offering protection, cases have increasingly become

a way to express personal style and preferences, just like

any other fashion accessory.

By introducing two annual collections, reflecting fashion

trends in colour, textures and patterns, you will be able to

match our products with bags and shoes from the world’s

leading fashion houses. Our products are produced with

leather from the best suppliers in Italy, including our own

family owned tannery. Many global luxury fashion brands

use leather from the same tanneries for their shoes and

bags. Our objective is to offer the most beautiful cases in

the world, and they will always be carefully designed and

crafted with the best material available.

Our flagship store and studio is located in Stockholm on

Nybrogatan 26. Please come by, you´re most welcome!

Our creative inspiration and product heritage is very much

derived from our Italian family history. The art of tanning

and transforming leather into beautiful products has been

an integral part of the family since the beginning of the

20th century. The Case Factory’s Angela Martarelli had

a great grandfather who founded the company Nazareno

Gabrielli in 1907 in her native city of Tolentino located

in the Marche region. Nazareno Gabrielli quickly became

famous in Italy when in 1927, the King of Savoia wanted

the interior of his train wagon to be made of leather.

The company grew quickly and became synonymous with

some of the most exclusive handcrafted leather products

Made in Italy. The following generation acquired one of

the tanneries supplying leather and shortly after, the family

acquired Poltrona Frau which today is one of the world’s

leading producers of exclusive leather furniture.

Until the listing on the Milan stock exchange, the company

was controlled by Angela’s uncle and today Poltrona Frau

also owns the internationally famous brands Cappellini,

Cassina and Thonet.

The Case Factory is predominantly using vegetable tanned

leather exclusively from leading Italian tanneries serving

global fashion brands. Italy has a long tradition and unique

knowledge of producing high quality leather. Transforming

raw hides into a material that will resist throughout time, is

a 30-40 days process combining modern technologies and

machineries with the use natural tannins (found in trees,

vegetables, bark, leaves, wood, fruits and roots).

Among the various tanning methods, the vegetable tanning

is by far, apart from being the classic traditional method,

the most natural and eco friendly type of tanning.

This process is based on the use of tannin, which is the

main active ingredient responsible for the transformation

of the animal hide into a compact and resistant material du-

rable over time. These tannin extracts make the vegetable

tanned leather unique and immediately recognizable from

leather tanned with other methods. The most common and

antique type of tannin is the Quebracho tree extract, a tree

indigenous of Argentina. From its bark, a characteristically

red-colour powder can be obtained that gives the leather

an unmistakable warm and brilliant shade which together

with a compact texture, makes it more resistant to water

and atmospheric agents.

Another important reason why we use leather produced

with natural tannin is that the production process of our

suppliers is strictly monitored to ensure a low impact on

the environment. Being tanned with natural tannins, the

leather can be easily recycled at the end of its life thanks

to its chemical-biological characteristics. Many substances

being used during the tanning process are recycled, and

reused in different fields. Hair removed from raw hides is

transformed into agricultural fertilizer; sludge produced by

the depuration plants is reused in the construction field to

make bricks. Vegetable-tanned leather does not contain any

toxic substance such as azo-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome

and is highly tolerable for people who suffer from metal

related allergies. Vegetable tanned leather ages with grace.

It becomes older without ruining. The natural ageing does

not compromise its resistance and gives it a vintage look

with warm color shades showing proof of being a genuine

natural product.
