ABOUT BUTTERO LEATHER
Not all leather is created equal. Buttero by Conceria Walpier is one of the most respected vegetable-tanned leathers in the world.

Here's what makes it special:
Vegetable-tanned using natural plant tannins — only about 10% of all leather produced worldwide is made this way
Full-grain — the strongest, most natural surface of the hide, nothing sanded or corrected away
Aniline-dyed — color goes all the way through, no synthetic coating
Develops a patina unique to you — the more you use it, the richer and more beautiful it becomes
Natural material — slight variations in tone, texture, or tiny natural marks are not flaws. They are the signature of genuine leather and a mark of its authenticity
This is a cover that tells your story over time.

A NOTE ON NATURAL LEATHER
Because Buttero is a natural, full-grain hide, each piece carries its own character — subtle variations in shade, grain, or the occasional tiny natural mark are part of what makes your cover one of a kind. No two covers are exactly alike, and that's the point.
