Description

Country of Origin: Italy

Weight: 5.0-5.5 oz

Tanning: Veg Tan

Temper, 1-10 Scale (1 = wet towel/ 10 = plywood): 7

Finish: Smooth

Recommended Uses: At 5oz great for Bags, Single Layer Watch Straps, Lanyards, Key Fobs. Split to 2-3oz, fantastic for wallet exteriors, interiors, and lining for larger goods

Notes: 100% vegetable tanned, firm-tempered, and the colors are very rich. Strongly resembles Walpier's Buttero with regard to its sheen and the slightly marbled look of the color.  However, it's not as dry as Buttero, which affords it some advantages for certain leather goods like bags/cases.

It burnishes very well, it's easy to hand sew and machine sew, it behaves very well with Aquilim water-based adhesives, the colors are solid and consistent. 

GRADING:

- Grade A - Great quality, very little to no flaws beside what is mentioned above.

- Grade B - Not-so-perfect - will have more noticeable range marks or scratches, broken grain, or slight color variation over a small portion of the panel. 

Please note: There may be a slight variation in color between the product photo and what you receive due to differences across dye lots and the natural characteristics of leather.

District Leather sold me this on an Instagram Live Sale and I was super impressed with it.

Smells Fantastic

Beautiful leather! The smell is amazing. Very similar in color to the Conceria La Perla Azzurra Dakota, Tramonto. Although I personally like the MPG better for wallets and the Dakota for something more like a holster unless it's split. This burnishes so nice and the back side of the leather has a great feel. Will definitely be ordering more of this. I did not find that it scratched easily.

Gorgeous but firm, even at 2-3oz

I picked up a 1/4 shoulder on the instagram live sales, had it split down to 2-3 oz for wallet covers, but ended up using it to reinforce a suede backpack. It's very flexible but keeps a lot of temper/body even at this lighter weight. Burnishes like a dream. I cant wait to see how it patinas over time.

Absolutely Beautiful

Received a 4x18 grade A panel of this leather. It only had one small stain spot about .25" diameter, but otherwise flawless. This leather is beautiful, I was shocked at the smooth slightly marbled look that it has. True to the description it is easy to work with, burnishes extremely well and makes beautiful products. The only downside is that is scratches and stains EXTREMELY easily, much more so than some other leathers that I have worked with.
