Our Materials

We prioritize working with natural materials and source our leathers only from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries in Italy. That’s because natural materials are more durable, easy to repair when you’ve given them a little too much love, and ensure the least amount of environmental harm.

Nappa

Often used for luxury shoes and handbags, nappa is a smooth, full-grain leather known for its soft feel and refined look.

Calf Leather

A fine grain leather, prized for its softness and exceptional durability. We often use it as a lining for its glove-like feel against the skin.

Tumbled Leather

Full-grain leather softened through a tumbling process, resulting in a soft, textured finish and a broken-in feel from day one.

Tuscany’s renowned tanneries have perfected techniques to make croc-embossed and python- and leopard-printed leathers look like the real thing.
