TECHNIQUES

Rhinestones and crystal rocks - only and exclusively Swarovski, Preciosa and Premium Korean Quality - and details such as studs can be applied by heat-sealing on the most diverse fashion accessories to enrich them: footwear, leather goods and clothing.

This process is particularly suitable for materials such as suede, split leather and fabrics.

Claw and/or rivet studs and rhinestones are particularly suitable for materials such as top grain leather, nappa leather, laminates, double fabrics and thick fabrics. These small metal trims - painted or with galvanic finishes - allow to create a variety of fashion accessories with customized effects.

 They are applied by automatic and semiautomatic machines, under the careful eyes of our specialist operators.

To support every creative inspiration of our customers and help them make the magic of details happen, we also apply sewn stones. We do that with the highest level of precision, to enrich and make wardrobes shine. Our sewn stones combine timeless materials with a contemporary style to create precious patterns that bring even more value to products of all complexity levels.

We print on fabrics and all kind of materials for fashion garments and accessories - an opportunity for our customers to achieve the high customisation and graphic distinction required by contemporary fashion. This is possible thanks to our UV LED printers, which ensure the highest definition and productivity. Thanks to ultraviolet rays, these printers can set ink on all materials with high resolution standards (printing resolution up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi; four-colour printing generates extremely precise results, with uniform and soft nuances): thanks to this technology, we are able to print images of outstanding quality on any type of surface (leather, fabrics, etc.).  UV LED printers generate minimal heat, therefore they allow direct printing even on heat-sensitive materials, without deforming the substrate.

When fashion meets sustainability, no one can resist the charm of natural fabrics. Sustainable fashion is a much desirable trend - because the Earth calls for it. And so does style. To print creative patterns on organic fabrics, we use a printer with special NeoPigment™ inks, water-based, eco-friendly inks without heavy metals and 100% toxin-free. Our ECO printing is GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified.

Thanks to 3D printing, prototypes come to life in a heartbeat, giving our customers the possibility to hold a first, tangible shape of their ideas in a matter of hours! Starting from the customer's idea, we first create a render of it and then a resin prototype of their customised accessories.

This process significantly speeds up the initial prototyping phase, thereby generating considerable cost and time savings.

What’s more, 3D printing can also be used for small production batches of fashion accessories, always ensuring both shape and colour (with the same finishes offered for ABS items) customization.

Laser cutting lets fashion design unfold its whole potential: it has infinite creative applications and, combined with other techniques, can give life to unique products. Thanks to our dedicated laser centre, we decorate, perforate and cut leather and fabrics with the highest level of precision, while laser engraving lets us bring creativity on leather. Moreover, thanks to laser cutting we are able to produce in-house the templates we need for our processings - a crucial aspect to best safeguard the customer’s design privacy.

Hand embroidery is an ancient craft and a decoration technique which is today more and more appreciated and requested by style studios. Starting from a draft, a picture or a technical drawing, the skilled and expert hands of our embroiderers are able to give life to all the shapes and ideas imagined by our customers, even the most contemporary ones coming from the bold creativity of young designers. Technical assistance is provided during the whole sample realisation phase, along with the opportunity to always find new solutions thanks to the great expertise of our team.

In particular, Goretti  produces embroideries and applications with handmade sewn rhinestones, stones, stones with setting, pearls and  beads and also very complex embroidered pictures with sewn stones. These can be applied on all kinds of fabrics and on mignons and also mixed with other trimmings such as weaves, torchon lace and sewn or by-hand inserted chains.

For hand sewing we use traditional sewing machines - both flat and post bed sewing machines - and it is also possible to realise small joining works. Hand sewing can be mixed with machine sewing: this combination allows to achieve always new results with a high level of customisation and innovation.

At Goretti there’s almost no limit to creativity: automated special stitchings - perfect to work with very thick substrates such as leather (skins and suede) - are realised by sewing machines with rotating heads, also with thick threads. These machines let the stitches follow curved lines without interruption, with all kind of writings or patterns. 

Another advantage of this machine lies in its versatility: it is possible to work with three different thread titles (thickness value of the thread); moreover, it is possible to work on substrates with different heights on the same panel and even sew zigzag stitches. It is also possible to work on substrates with trims applied on them, such as rhinestones and buckles: the machine is able to skip them or go around them.

To achieve the highest precision possible (to the tenth of a millimetre) and a very high quality, the leather is interlocked and secured on the panel with special fixings.

Moreover, the watchful eye of our operators is able to detect and correct possible small imperfections due to the natural variability of the leather, letting us maintain the highest quality standard possible.

Following a long craft tradition and relying on a deep knowledge of every production step in the sectors of footwear, leather goods and fashion accessories, we manufacture round strips and mignons (folded strips joined at the middle), which we can deliver in long lenghts, both in leather and synthetic material. Thickness and width are customisable. Moreover, our mignons and round strips can be doubled with inner flat, round half-round cores. It is also possible to add rhinestones, hotfix studs and other trims.  We sew our round strips, which we can manufacture in different dimensions, with or without padding or foam.

Our specialised team can develop and offer highly customised solutions for fashion accessories such as buckles, bows, flowers, tassels and weaves. These are just a few examples of a very versatile range of handcrafted and extremely accurate solutions, which have always been part of Goretti’s core identity. Keeping in constant dialogue with our customers, we always aim at offering them the best fitting solutions for their needs.

Handmade weaves are the expression of very ancient traditions. Taking care of every detail and knowing how to choose fine colours and original shapes are key skills to create beautifully crafted handmade weaves. Our handmade weaves are realised on a jig or template. They can be created with mignons, leather or synthetic leather round strips, strips, cotton and raffia.  The weave can also be enriched with other trims, such as rhinestones, sewn pearls or hotfix trims.

Knitting is a very ancient technique carried out with knitting needles. Linen, cotton, jute, wool, and viscose are the most suitable materials for this handmade technique.

Embossing, which means creating a low relief on a surface, is the perfect technique to highlight a brand logo or a brandmark. A valuable ally to enrich the item with an original touch. At Goretti we realise handmade embossed works to give a three-dimensional and elegant effect to the decorations, pictures, patterns and textures conceived by the designer. Embossing can also be enriched by fine details realised with other techniques, such as laser cutting, stitching, studs and rhinestones application.
