Some 60 years ago, the
Nielawicky brothers
of Argentina set up
a family business
producing leather gloves
and belts, making use
of the excellent hides
produced there. The
high quality of their
products along with
their exquisite  nishing
(at a level comparable
to handcrafted
pieces instead of
manufactured goods)
was good publicity for
the company, which
shortly after became
the local market leader.
With this background
and years of experience
in the  eld, the younger
generation of the family
decided to start up a
new brand in the early
eighties that would
uphold the standards
of quality they were
accustomed to, while
diversifying their
products. Their brand,
Lazaro, offers leather
wallets and purses,
accessories,
and garments, with
rst-class design.
