ITALIA RETRO leather is a modern full grain leather with a semi-matte finish, calendered (embossed) in a timeless pepita pattern. The surface of the leather has been treated with coloured aniline dye, which ensures that the structure of the leather and natural growth marks are still visible on the finished product. Tanned using the semi-plant method, Italia is exceptionally soft and pleasant to the touch, yet strong and durable. In addition, the leather has been treated with a hydrophobic varnish, making it resistant to dirt.
