Tenería Vargas
Our expression
in leather


Tenería Vargas was founded in 1954 by Mr. Jesús Vargas Carrillo at the age of 21. With little experience and limited capital, he ventured into buying his first 7 hides to tan and sell. Mr. Jesús, recognizing it as a promising business with great growth potential, became increasingly involved.

By 1956, Mr. Jesús faced the complications of the business, which proved fatal for the continuity of production at that time. However, these obstacles brought invaluable experience and shaped much of what Tenería Vargas is today—a resilient company that has overcome industry challenges, specializing in the production of renowned lines such as patent leather.

In 1985, Mr. Jesús retired and passed the reins to his son, J. Jesús Vargas Martín del Campo. Under his leadership, Tenería Vargas embarked on a new era, carving a path in a demanding and highly competitive market.
