Conceria Walpier (Buttero)
Available Colors: Natural, Whiskey, Chestnut, Burgundy, Brown, and Black (Email for additional options)
Several color options are available for all models using Buttero leather from Conceria Walpier, a world renowned tannery based in Tuscany, Italy. Buttero (Italian for cowboy) leather is known for its beautiful smooth texture and slight striation in the grain (surface) giving this leather subtle character. This leather is also given a small oil treatment by the tannery and will have initially a gently firm temper, but softens up nicely over time. All Buttero colors will develop a beautiful luster and shine, as well as patina (darkening) over time.
Badalassi Carlo (Pueblo)
Available colors: Nero, Olive, and Cognac (Email for additional options)
A new addition to the collection, Badalassi Carlo's Pueblo leather is a beautiful "cousin" leather to Buttero. Tanned in Italy, Pueblo is a fully vegetable tanned leather that is supple when new, requiring a shorter break in period. This leather has a unique texture due to the sanding treatment it receives at the tannery. The variation in tone will give way to a smooth surface after about a month of daily wear.
Alran Chèvre Goatskin (Sully)
Available colors: Black, Dark Brown, Chocolate, Whiskey, and Natural (Email for additional options)
Tanned in France, Alran's "Sully" goatskin is renowned by master makers throughout Europe and the East for its durability and finished look. All items crafted from the Italian leathers above are semi-lined using this luxurious leather. While the above leathers will develop patina over time, Alran's goatskin resists aging very well and will offer a nice contrast to your item after years of use.
