The Materials
We've been combining leather and wool for over 19 years. We think it’s a fantastic match. When chosen carefully, both are natural and sustainable. Two of the most ancient materials known to mankind, not ancient is what we create from them.
The Complex Italian
Black Raw is a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany. Only the best Vachetta shoulder hides are selected. The appearance has a raw suede-like feel, the result of leather artisans applying a stone-ground finishing technique to give a matte surface that highlights the natural character, markings and textures of the hide, embracing every imperfection.
Transparent aniline dyeing, air-drying, and stone polishing preserve the rustic and authentic appearance.
Over time and use an elegant patina will develop adding to the timeless appeal of the leather.

The Honest Italian
Deep Brown is a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany. Only the best Vachetta shoulder hides are selected. An exceptional hide that contains natural markings and blemishes, which makes every product unique.
Quality, thick but subtle leather that evolves with time. It’s sensitive to your surroundings and the waxy top layer means it shows small scratches which can be buffed out with a damp cloth or a quick rub with a finger.
Over time and use an elegant patina will develop adding to the timeless appeal of the leather.

Tuscan Rich Vegetable Tanned Leather
Similar to that finger licking calzone you had on your last holiday in Italy, we believe it’s best simple, with natural ingredients made by a hearty Italian family. Our key leathers are premium Tuscan vegetable tanned, full-grain and hand finished. They mature and get better with age, just like the Chianti you enjoyed with that pizza.

Felted, Woven and Knitted Wool
Italian, German and British wools - Much like a truffle pig we have a real natural instinct to sniff out the good ones. You can only imagine that after years of hardgraft we are proud owners of heaps of special wools. Felted, woven and knitted - they all give us that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Almost too good to be true: wool is highly sustainable, completely natural, rapidly renewable and biodegradable. It’s the ultimate performance fibre unmatched by man-made fabrics. Hardwearing, breathable and water repellant.
