Founder's Message

İskefe, as the architect of the processing method of collagen, the most valuable protein created, which benefits both humanity's healing and nutrition and the protection of foot health, is changing leather processing first in Turkey and then globally.

İskefe provides leathers for breathable, healthy shoes, as well as food and pharmaceutical components that contribute to human health and natural nutrition. With the power of an integrated working model in both food and footwear sectors, İskefe is dominant in global raw material sources and manages cost-quality balance most accurately.

İskefe is grateful to the blessed animals from which we have benefited for thousands of years with their meat, milk, and leather, one of their by-products.

İskefe has been developing its classic leather collection solely from natural forms since 1957, excluding technologies that have discredited, plasticized, and polluted leather with harmful chemicals over the last century, which was traditionally processed with nature's pure plants and vegetable oils for thousands of years.

İskefe is the spirit of the artisan leather workers who have contributed to our establishment for three generations from all over the world, appreciating the craftsmanship that has worked hard throughout this arduous process.
