We can meet you either in Mexico City or Leon, depending upon where you would like to reach with your flights.

     It would help to know what kind of leather product you are trying to elaborate.   Sofa covers, shoes, baseball gloves, purses, jackets, arrow quivers?   In Leon or even Mexico City, anything is possible.   There are producers of mediocre to excellent quality of almost anything.  Touristy stuff, sub-contract work for famous labels...it is all possible.   The Mexicans can amaze with the amoung of product they can do, with the quality that flows from their brains and fingers.  However, it can be quite an adventure, but most all agree, producing in Mexico is worth almost any challenge.

     It would behoove you to do a bit of a census of people/businesses where you are who are producing out of Mexico.   As always, a word of mouth, direct experience referral is best.   Otherwise, the next thing is to take your idea in a small briefcase and be prepared to spend AT LEAST two weeks or maybe even three in Leon, Guanajuato and Mexico, D.F., perhaps even some places around Guadalajara, Jalisco.
     Without wishing to insult anyone, since you are a woman, you will employ your intuition about who has the fingers, brains, and moral bearing to address your account.  You will use your experience and your own inspiration in order to both identify what you want to produce and assure yourself that the people with whom you are dealing have the interfacing experience, inspiration, and ability that you need.

    What I do know is that being in Leon, Guanajuato is, in all probability, the best first step in your quest.   Next, is patience.  You will be amazed at the stuff..even the nice mediocre stuff...but especially the higher fashion and higher utility work the Mexican production houses and workers can produce.
     Once again, the previous respondents are making in my opinion reasonable suggestions.   Digifotog lives in Queretaro, which means he is an intelligent person who likes clean and old-fashioned, noble deportment among people.  If it is the same Norwegian he is recommended that I have heard of....it is a sound recommendation.   The problem is fitting things into his schedule.
     I am a bed and breakfast fellow, with a home in a rural area of Mexico.   We have been involved in business and tourism in Mexico for 35 years.   My family has been involved in business, farming, ranching, and other legal pursuits in Mexico since the 1880s : Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre, our little bed and breakfast on the skirts of the Sierra Madre Oriental - sites.google.com/site/quintatesorodelasierramadrecom

From there you can also access my email very easily.

Hi Adeb06

What kind of quantities are you looking for? Do you have the designs for the items prepared?
