This ÊTRE product is made from the highest quality vegetable-tanned leather. All the edges are polished and painted by our passionate craftsmen. On some items, the Patina is created by a laborious ageing process developed by us. It is hand stitched with waxed thread to achieve high strength and long term durability. Treat this product like your skin, moisturising and protecting it and it will last a lifetime. With age, it will gain elegant imperfections that will give glamour to this piece and make it uniquely yours.
