Of all the province of Abruzzo the province of Teramo shows, without a doubt, a remarkable increase in textile and Leather goods industries. In the post war years in Val Vibrata, hundreds of textile industries were established, all working for the big designer names. At the end of 1970s, however, this way of operating for third parties caused a deep crisis in the sector as many industries found it more convenient to have their products manufactured in north Africa and eastern Europe.

From the 1980s onwards, in order to cope with the crisis, many firms began producing their own collections with their own labels. This completely transformed the entire sector.
Thanks to previous production experience and with the skill of the business operators and dealers, there was a boost in the economic zone as a whole, creating an overall sense of well-being.

To complete the fashion supplies that Abruzzo offers to the world, various small leather goods outlets have cropped up in the last few decades. Products include bags, belts, wallets, suitcases, etc. and all of the experience and creativity of the local entrepreneurs combined, results in products which satisfy all the requirements of the fashion world.

Today Abruzzo’s textile and leather goods industries are recognized both in the national and international markets.
Although there have been advances in production technology most companies remain small-medium in size, assuring high quality products throughout the region.
