Loom and manual weaving, pleating, patchwork panels, and much more

With over 40 years of experience in the footwear, leather goods, apparel, furnishing, and automotive sectors, the R79 company brings together all the know-how of the Francavilla family, whose second generation still runs the company.

The company, which designs and produces 100% Made in Italy semi-finished products, was founded in 1979 and, over time, has become a leader in the fashion sector for semi-finished products.

«The company’s work - the team at R79 SRL explains - ranges from the production of loom weaves to manual weaves, as well as patchwork panels». A close-knit and qualified in-house staff is responsible for research, design and development, collaborating with a network of artisanal and industrial companies capable of meeting the various requirements of the best brands.

From a sustainability perspective and with great consideration for the environment, the company works with recycled products, proposing weaves with threads obtained from recycled straw paper used in the food industry, vegetable tanned leather free of chemical agents. It also carries out garment-dyed work with natural water-based colours.
