Fenice S.p.A: Professional Italian Leather Edge Paints
When you look at a luxury Italian handbag, the first thing you notice is the flawless, glass-like finish on the leather edges. That is the Fenice signature. Based in Italy, Fenice S.p.A specializes in high-performance edge paints that offer incredible adhesion and flexibility, ensuring your edges won't crack or peel even with heavy use. Unlike standard paints, Fenice Edge Paints are designed to 'level out' naturally, giving you a smooth, professional profile with fewer coats. Whether you are a bespoke maker or restoring a high-end piece, Fenice provides the chemical excellence required for a true masterpiece finish.

The "Fenice Edge" Routine
-
Prep: Sand your edges to a high grit (400-600) to ensure a smooth base.
-
Prime: (Optional) Use a Fenice neutral base coat or primer to fill the fibers for a more rounded look.
-
Apply: Use an edge roller or awl to apply a thin, even layer of Fenice Edge Paint.
-
Dry & Repeat: Let it dry completely. For a "matte" finish, lightly sand with 1000 grit between the second and third coats.
