THE PENNY. BB TAMARIND. AMBER SALAMANDER LAKE. IBIZA CAMELLO MASK. UNDYED THREAD. 2CM

Character: This leather is thin yet waxy with some body from it's veg tannage, giving it great pliability with a nice structure, while being wonderfully light.  The leather has beautiful gradations in color from the waxing during tannage.  

Care: This is best conditioned with a good quality liquid saddlesoap. Darker colors can be conditioned or cleaned with a shoe wax as well. Be sure to test a small area prior to using.

This leather is from a tannery in the Tuscan region of Italy. They make only 100% Vegetable Tanned leathers and bear the Pelle Conciata al Vegetale in Toscana mark which are the strictest standards in traditional leather tanning and environmental standards. Their labor standards are also certified.

There are inherent variations in natural leathers, handmade manufacturing, and local sourcing.  Color and texture variations can vary within the same hide.  Different monitors can also display colors differently.  You may indicate any preferences in tone or texture in the Notes to Shoemaker section if you are looking for something specific so we can do our best to accomodate.
