Museum
Origins
Museum Calf is a leather created by the prestigious Italian tanner ILCIA, inspired by the marbled pattern of marble. As its name suggests, beautiful light and shade patterns are created by craftsmen applying multiple layers of dye in a painterly way.
In addition to the dye finish that makes the most of the delicate texture unique to calfskin, the polished silver surface gives off an elegant luster that deepens the more you use it.
Tanning and Manufacturing
Made from finely textured, high-quality French calf leather.
After chrome tanning, skilled craftsmen repeatedly dye the leather with pure aniline using a technique called "hand tamponato". This process creates a transparent, artistic marble pattern. The silver surface is then carefully polished with glass to give it a refined, glossy finish.
Maintenance
Although it has high durability due to the chrome tanning process, it is finished with a dye that brings out its natural look, so care must be taken when handling it to avoid scratches and water stains.
If it gets wet, wipe it off immediately with a soft cloth and regularly remove any dust from the surface with a soft cloth or leather brush.
