The company introduced specific comfort technologies, such as the Air system, to the domestic market. It contributed to the transition of Brazilian men's fashion from rigid formal styles to flexible, casual alternatives. The brand exports products to multiple countries, representing the growth of the Brazilian leather industry and its manufacturing infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
