Badalassi carlo minerva box - swatch book

Badalassi Minerva Box in our opinion is the best naturally tumbled vegetable tanned shoulder available on the market. The grain is not printed and will therefore vary from skin to skin and within the skin itself. Each hide is treated with extracts of trunk and bark inside wood barrels, greased with a mixture of animal fats and then coloured in a drum. Pulling up the skin beneath will reveal a depth of rich colour. Rubbing the skins with a dry cloth will burnish it brighter as well as moving the colour darker. Minerva box can be treated with natural creams and waxes. For a smooth version, see the Badalassi Minerva.

Please be aware that some areas of the skin(s) will be flat and some will have more grain, this is the nature of the article. If you are interested in a colour we are not stocking then please contact us to discuss minimum quantities.
