Vegetable-tanned calf leather sourced from an Italian (Tuscany) supplier. Some colors, mostly the light ones (such as white, perla, rose, sky, kobalt, lime, azur, pulpo, and coral), are not vegetable-tanned but metal-free tanned in order to keep the color stable. Features a through-dye and wax finish with a light pull-up effect. It is tumbled for softness, and color and texture may vary as a result of the tumbling process. The color will get darker with wear and exposure to sunlight. The dye can stain your feet. It gets softer with use and may stretch. The bi-leather colors are dyed twice and therefore display a different color edge.

Care Instruction waw
Vegetable-tanned leathers are extremely sensitive to humidity. Therefore, wipe dirt off gently using a soft cloth. Moisture - both from inside or outside - can leave marks and result in colour changes. Liquids like oil and even dirt also can leave irreversible stains on the leather.
Do not overdo the use of shoe care products, as this can block the leather pores and result in colour changes. For the occasional care of all plain leathers we recommend, for example, "Collonil Waterstop Colours". Small scratches can be treated with matching shoe polish.
If you notice a thin white layer on the leather, this is no cause for concern. It is only surplus wax that can be easily removed. This process is even easier if you heat up the shoes carefully for a moment using a hair dryer.
