Material

Made of certified calfskin, it is born from a 100% artisanal process. This ancient tanning that uses only natural products (tannin, tallow fat, etc.) is unique in the world and has never been reproduced. An initial aging was carried out by us, because the items made with this leather have the characteristic of acquiring charm over time. Available in various colors, also on customer request: Black, Brown, Yellow, Cherry, Chianti, Cognac, Purple, Gray, Orange, Dark Green, Electric Blue, White, Coffee, Emerald, Mustard, and the brand new Peach

When the quality of Made in Italy meets an exclusive and timeless design, you find Pratesi, since 1948, a tradition that has been handed down from father to son.

Product Care

Wipe a cotton wool ball previously dipped in a small amount of [UPACERA] - Pratesi leather wax. The skin thus returns to soften, rejecting the accumulated dirt and any humidity
