Where atomic precision meets the sensuality of noble skins. Daumet provides the only gold finish that preserves the natural grain of leather while guaranteeing the wearability required by the world's most prestigious Maisons.
Unlike embossing or foils, our PVD process bonds gold at molecular level. The leather stays flexible and breathable, and keeps its original grain and hand.
Tested for the real world. Our finishes exceed luxury standards for scratch resistance, UV exposure and humidity - Martindale and Veslic certified.
Our gold is part of the material. It withstands every stage of manufacture - rolling, sewing and heating - without cracking or peeling.
Designs down to 50 µm, allowing for intricate patterns and micro-logos.
Expertise across calfskin, alligator and innovative alt-leathers. If it is high-end, we can gild it.
Bespoke alloys from 18K white to 24K yellow, tailored to your signature colour palette.
By using less gold more effectively and eliminating toxic chemicals - our process is cyanide-free - Daumet helps your supply chain achieve an important reduction in carbon footprint, without ever compromising on prestige.
From Prototype to Collection.
Our gilding finishes are highly durable, thanks to our innovative knowledge in gold metallurgy and our know-how. We adapt our process to your product requirements so our gilding finishes offer excellent resistance to wear, tarnishing, and environmental factors like humidity and UV exposure, ensuring that your creations maintain their brilliance over time.
Yes. Daumet offers complete customisation in gilding, including the choice of gold colours - yellow, rose, white or bespoke - and the application of patterns, gradients and signature designs. Our expertise brings your creative vision to life with precision and consistency.
PVD deposition provides a uniform, high-quality finish while minimising the use of harmful chemicals and reducing environmental impact. It applies very thin, durable layers of gold that preserve the original design and texture of the material. This is what lets us go beyond the boundaries traditionally set by gold leaf and gold embossing on leather.
Our gilding surpasses gold leaf and embossing in durability and precision. The PVD process creates a long-lasting, environmentally resistant finish that holds its brilliance over years of use, including on pieces worn daily by your clients. We also offer extensive customisation in gold colours, gradients and signature designs, allowing intricate and personalised finishes that traditional methods cannot reach.
