WE DON’T CREATE PRODUCTS,

WE CREATE MOMENTS.

We aim to look beyond the utility of a specific product, in order to invoke emotion. We recognize that the value of a product lies beyond its function and rather in the pleasure, and ultimately, in the lasting memory that it brings. In order to do this, we always invest in the innovation regardless of whether we are creating a stock article or a bespoke project.

Materials are at the core of it all – procuring from a wide number of sustainable sources and working alongside our suppliers to ensure that all of the leathers, fabrics, and accessories we use are not only beautiful and tactile but also carry a minimal environmental impact and are durable for the intended use. Next comes the manufacturing process, and we believe in a best of both approach – leveraging the latest machinery and processes available while also maintaining the artisanal roots from which our products are born. We apply these founding principles to everything we do, in order to add value at every stage for our partners in delivering our services. 

Our expertise broadly falls within 3 categories – leather goods manufacturing, printing and print finishing and, design and development.

Leather Goods

Manufacturing

Bafra is specialized in the manufacturing of luxury leather goods and accessories. For over 40 years we have been supplying local and international markets with bags, wallets and accessories produced in our own facility in Alexandria, Egypt in under our own brand names and for third parties (private label). We work mainly in genuine topgrain bovine leather but can also process high quality synthetics, woven and nonwoven fabrics as well as split and bonded leathers.

Printing

& Finishing

We are Egypt’s foremost provider of diaries, planners, notebooks and corporate gift items. We also welcome commercial printing on our 5 sheetfed offset printing machines and can handle print jobs of most sizes and run lengths. We also manage all of our print finishing in house, including (but not limited to) folding, gathering/collating, binding (wire-o, saddle-stitching, perfect, etc.), die-cut- ting/trimming and laminating. We have a fully automated hardcover binding line and can offer special book finishing options (edge gilding, hot foil stamping, embossing/debossing, etc.).

Design

Services

We can offer end-to-end design and development for both leather and paper products for any application. We work in close proximity with studios and graphic designers to create initial designs to suit the brief. We have an in-house pattern maker and sampling specialist who will then work to translate these designs into workable 3D iterations. We do our own tooling, prepress and plate work and can even work with suppliers to develop bespoke accessories and materials.
