details

A naturally shrunken leather it has been fashionable in both the high-end leather goods and men’s footwear industries in Europe.

It is unique in that it is only produced at this particular tannery in Spain. The water the tannery employs combined with the tanning agents used to shrink the leather creates a random, three-dimensional shrunken grain that is visually stunning. Rich, aniline dyes combined with clear, soft waxes are applied to the leather to create a smooth, soft surface. A final process polishes the leather to highlight the integrity and boldness of the grain with a rich, transparent appearance.
