Calf skin

tanned on pure vegetable basis

Colour: black
Product information "Calf skin"

This vegetable-tanned calf leather is distinguished by its natural elegance, the traditional, eco-friendly tanning process, and a pleasant thickness of 0.9–1.0 mm. With its fine, even surface it provides excellent conditions for the production of exclusive bindings and the restoration of valuable leather volumes. Thanks to its supple structure it can be easily processed, cut, and embossed, making it especially versatile in the bookbinding trade.

Application

Thanks to its natural tanning, pleasant feel, and excellent workability, this leather is ideal for the production of high-quality books with genuine leather binding as well as for the restoration and preservation of historical volumes.

  • Production of exclusive books with genuine leather binding
  • Restoration and care of historical leather volumes
  • Projects in the field of traditional bookbinding craftsmanship
