A family business with a direct role in production

A Dutch family business making private label leather goods since 1983. Customer coordination and project management are handled from Almere, the Netherlands; production and quality control take place in our family's own SA8000-certified facility in Kolkata, India.

Adnan Nasim founded Adnan Lederwaren in 1983. Today, we make leather bags, wallets, belts, jackets and corporate gifts for brand owners, wholesalers, retail chains, e-commerce companies and corporate buyers.

Our work is organised around two locations. In Almere, the Netherlands, your account manager handles quotations, project management and invoicing. In our family's own facility in Kolkata, India, the products are made and checked before dispatch. That distinction matters: your commercial contact is in the Netherlands, while manufacturing and production quality control take place in India.

Adnan Lederwaren private label leather goods manufacturing

From the first conversation to a repeat order

Some buyers arrive with a finished design. Others know the product they want to add to their range and prefer to start from an existing model. We support both approaches through private label production and OEM manufacturing.

Your brief establishes the product, materials, branding, quantities and intended delivery date. We develop a physical sample for your approval, begin bulk production after approval, and check the order before it leaves the factory. Repeat orders are produced to the specifications agreed in that sample.

A dedicated account manager keeps your project connected from the first question to delivery. We work in English, Dutch and German and are happy to correspond in writing in your own language.

Frequently asked questions

Adnan Nasim founded the company in 1983. It is still a family business today.

Our production facility in Kolkata, India, is owned by our family. You deal directly with the manufacturer, and we control planning, quality and pricing ourselves.

We speak English, Dutch and German, and we are happy to correspond in writing in your own language.

Our production facility

The Kolkata facility is owned by our family. It has approximately 40,000 square feet, or 3,700 square metres, of manufacturing space and more than 400 skilled craftspeople. Traditional leatherworking skills are combined with modern production methods across the products we make.

The facility is approximately 10 km from the Kolkata shipping docks and 18 km from the airport. Production capacity is confirmed for each project because product complexity, materials and the mix of orders affect planning.

A sample first, followed by four quality checks

The sample gives you a physical product to review before the bulk order starts. It is the point at which your design, materials, branding and construction can be considered together.

During the order, checks take place on incoming leather, after cutting, during production and at final inspection before dispatch. Buyers may arrange independent inspection, for example through SGS, with their account manager.
