Leather labels are patches and labels made of leather, faux leather or eco leather, applied to jeans, leather goods, caps and accessories to give the brand a warm, natural and recognisable detail. They are the classic signature of denim and one of the most appreciated elements in fashion that relies on authentic materials. Redmark makes them to measure in Italy, choosing material, finish and personalisation technique according to the garment.
If you are looking for leather labels or faux leather labels for your jeans or for leather goods, the choice concerns the material, the finish and the way the logo is applied. Below you will find what they are for, how they are personalised and the most frequent questions.
What leather labels are
A leather label is a small support in leather or faux leather that carries the logo or the brand name, usually applied outside the garment as a visible signature. It is the label everyone recognises on the back of jeans, but it is also used on bags, caps and accessories. Compared with a woven label it conveys a tactile and artisanal effect, with the natural feel typical of leather.
Where leather labels are used
The most classic use is on denim, where the leather patch on the back of jeans has become a real distinctive mark. They are also widely used in leather goods, on caps, on bags and on all accessories that want a warm and natural detail. The faux leather or eco leather version offers the same aesthetic effect with a different material choice, useful when an alternative to animal leather is needed.
Materials and personalisation techniques
Redmark makes labels in leather, faux leather and eco leather, available in different textures, colours and thicknesses. The logo is applied with three main techniques. Engraving, which carves the design into the material with an elegant and permanent effect. Hot stamping, which impresses the logo with heat for a clean, defined result. Printing, for graphics and colours. The choice of technique depends on the material and the desired effect.
Customisation
The leather label is customisable in the shape, the material, the colour and the finish, as well as in the technique used to apply the logo. You can play on natural or dyed leather, on raw or finished edges, and on the pairing with contrast stitching, for a detail that reflects the brand’s style.
Why choose leather labels
Leather labels combine aesthetics and recognisability. They give the product an authentic, artisanal touch, they resist use well, especially on denim, and they become an immediate mark of recognition for the brand. The faux leather or eco leather version makes it possible to achieve the same result while meeting different material needs.
Leather labels in the brand system
The leather label also performs best when it is coordinated with the other brand elements. Along with leather labels, Redmark makes woven and metal labels, patches, hang tags and packaging such as shopping bags, boxes and dust bags. Coordinating materials and finishes makes the brand consistent across the whole collection.
