Leather
Héritage
Heritage leather is an unfinished, full-grain calfskin leather with an uncorrected surface that reveals its natural beauty.
Its selection is based on extremely demanding criteria, since only skins of exceptional quality are retained.
Without correction or finishing, each skin retains its unique character, developing a singular shine over time.
This living leather has the particularity of becoming more sublime with age: it gradually darkens, adopting deeper and more refined shades.
Thanks to the natural oils that nourish the leather, an authentic patina is formed, accentuating its richness and shine.

TEMPO
Tempo leather is a full-grain calfskin with a fine, even grain, evoking the ancestral art of double-sided hand binding.
This technique involves folding the grain of the skin in one direction, then the other, creating delicate crisscross lines.
Tempo leather has a rounded feel and a matte finish that, with time and use, will transform into a subtle shine and light patina, enriching its appearance and texture.
