Details: This product is made using genuine leather in a fully circular and sustainable way. The hides come from traced and controlled European supply chains that can guarantee cattle herd origins and ensure humane animal treatment during the rearing phase at the highest world standards. The tanning method is based on the use of wastewater from olive oil production: a natural way of reusing excess. The next steps use only organic components: the black color comes from dyes derived from coal, and the finishing is made with beeswax.
