Vegetable-tanned Cuoio Superiore leather may vary in texture and color shade across different parts or products, and, in some cases, include small, occasional scars or subtle natural markings, inherent to the hide's natural surface. These marks are not defects but rather are indicative of authenticity, highlighting the material's quality and our commitment to natural beauty. Below, you'll find illustrations that showcase these features. If you prefer a more uniform look, there are cheaper alternatives available that are extensively chemically treated for consistency. However, they lack the longevity and evolving rich patina that our vegetable-tanned leather offers.

To preserve these distinctive features and ensure your leather accessory ages gracefully, we recommend treating it once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. This regular maintenance not only enhances the longevity of your accessory but also complements the unique characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather.
