Rustica

Created by Italian artisans to have a unique look and suede feel, these choice European split hides are combined with a water based finish to create a rich and rustic look. This look and feel is further complimented by a tumbling process which allows the hides to develop a supple and full hand. The leather creates an immediate comforting feel. Scratches and flaws enhance the natural beauty of this leather, adding to its rustic character.

Split leather is one of the most original types of leather. Mostly used in fashion, the hides retain all of the original texture and markings of a suede hide. Inherent shade variations associated with the tanning and dyeing of this South Western style aniline leather only enhances its great appeal. Visible insect bites, brands, and scars from healed wounds add to the rustic character of this leather.

For cleaning use a damp cloth.
