Business
“It’s changed a lot, the business,”
he said. “We’re always trying to come
up with ideas to grow the business
or grow the industry.”
Three years ago, Leather Spa
moved to its current facility, where
56 employees can handle even the
most complicated orders. The facility
set up like a maze, with employees
working in stations to patch items,
dye them, stretch them or polish and
clean the leather.
Much of the company’s materials
come from Europe – places like
France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Mesquita said the quality and variety
of products are better and wider in
these countries and because many
designer products also use material
from those countries, it makes more
sense for him to do so as well.
Mesquita has been approached by
realtors and developers who want a
Leather Spa location in their buildings
but it’s difficult for the work to
be replicated.
