​

  Vegetable tanned* "Buttero" leather, from Conceria Walpier tannery in Italy. "Buttero" is top grade italian veg tan* quite firm leather, dense structure. Grainy, rich color, slightly glossy look surface. Nice to touch, over time develops nice patina.

*Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather. Vegetable tanning uses tannins (a class of polyphenol astringent chemicals), which occur naturally in the bark and leaves of many plants.
