Arnia

This special finish from Badalassi Carlo is a unique extension of their renowned minerva box leather. The hide first goes through vachetta tanning and milled to become minerva box. It is then heavily oiled producing a slight pull up effect and buffed for a soft napped surface. The extra finishing steps makes this leather distinctly different from the minerva box giving it much more vintage characteristics.
