Minerva Vegetable Tanned Leather comes from the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather is full grain and has a nice supple feel with a small amount of firmness. Minerva is a vacchetta leather that is infused with a special blend of Italian fat wax giving it the famous hand and feel attributed with the vacchetta name.
This leather has a beautiful smooth grain with a beautiful depth to the leather colour. The veg tan will have an amazing patina as it ages. The leather is dyed completely through and has a nice soft flesh side.
The Heritage Series Leather represents a perfect combination of 50% veg-tan and 50% chrome-tanned. This is a cowhide leather with a smooth consistent grain and waxy finish. The Heritage Series leathers have a blend of natural waxes, fats and oils that give rich colour and pull up. The lining leather is luxurious, soft, supple Italian lamb hides.
Because these leathers are firm, there will be a "break-in" period if you are looking to have two cards per pocket.
