PROFILE:

 

Baron Leather was founded in 1989 in Mumbai. Bijal Maniar is the company's founder and was the only employee at the time of inception. Graduated from a leading University in Mumbai, he always wanted to do something innovative and fashionable, apart from others.


Since inception Baron has always been in the leather Industry, the Company was originally founded as a manufacturer supplier of "leather goods" which consisted of a wide range of products and accessories. Customers included various well known brands in the United Kingdom, USA and Far East.


By the early 1990s, the leather goods industry was in decline with many manufacturers closing their units due to international competition and low labor rates. During this time Baron, originally being in the leather industry, had already started developing leathers for home furnishing. In 1992 as leather accessories industry declined Baron Leather diversified in beautiful fashionable leathers used for residential, commercial, automobile, aircraft, yachts purpose and Leather Floor / Wall Tiles.


These pioneering efforts proved fruitful for Baron Leather and brought a fashion approach to furniture leathers, Indian and international designers appreciated Baron Leather quality, finish and designs. In early 2000 Baron was selected from various International leather companies and honored by the Princess of UK by granting a vital project of leather restoration work at one of her biggest palaces in Asia. Baron has complete control over the entire leather making process, from the world-wide sourcing of raw hides to drum-dying and finishing of all our leathers. Strategic partnerships with tanneries in Italy, New Zealand and Far East have been developed over the last 15 years to create an extensive collection of superior leathers which are stocked at a new facility in Mumbai.

Over the period, Baron expanded its focus from medium sized designers; furniture manufacturers to even larger base international designers primarily in hospitality design and Hi end residential design areas of Hi profiled customers, restoration of Palaces. Future plans include development of furniture line specially designed in-house showcasing superior Baron Leathers and introduction of retail chain of stores. Today Baron employs over 60 people here in Mumbai, with representation in major metropolitan cities as well as strategic partnerships overseas.
