Leather Libiary<\/h2><\/div>
\n

We say “Leather is a language”, speaking leather means not only understanding the terminology but also, most improtantly, appreciating its rich culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with my leather adventure, I keep on discovering new leathers. For those I have pleasure to work with, I note them down in this library.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/article>\n\n\n\n

Horween CXL<\/h3><\/div>
\n

At first encounter, I was drawn to its rich oily scent and touch, it feels almost edible. CXL offers various color options, each carries a slightly different aroma, but in harmony, like colors in a same palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’am using it in many projects because it is enjoyable to work with. It’s also durable, quite water-proof (as an un-coated leather) and ages beautifully.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Buttero<\/h3><\/div>
\n

“No, it is called [b\u00f9t\u00b7te\u00b7ro].” I was corrected by an Italien lady in a leathe conference. If I was not sleeping during my Italien class, I shall know it is not supposed to be pronounced as “Butter roll”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact this leather has nothing to do with butter, it is veg tanned, feels firm, smells crisp and natural. It offers a lot of color options, some are very vivid. Products made with it looks refined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Argentina SDS<\/h3><\/div>
\n

It comes with imperfections and possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a natural veg tanned leather with barely any supplementary processing, I can guess what the animal lived thru by looking at the scars (tougher life compared to cows living in Europe, it seems). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage is that I can dye it, mold it, carve it, stuff it, burnish it in different ways. The price point for me to have it is also a half of other leathers in this library, in general.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pueblo<\/h3><\/div>
\n

Pueble smells like Buttero, rich, sweet, and woody, but more oily. It also feels more oily when touched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything made of Peublo just stands out easily at first glance, because its special surface texture makes it look almost like suede. This signature look gives pueblo its uniqueness as a full grain leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the charm of Pueblo doesn’t end here, it lives in a different timeline as ours. It grows patina so dramatically that, from day 1 to day 180, it never looks the same way two days in a row…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Minerva Box<\/h3><\/div>
\n

MBOX comes with a rugged surface. Unlike embossed grain, this is the amplified natural grain character by the milling\/tumbling process. MBOX is also somehow self-repairing thanks to the flexibility given by the wrinkled surface. Perfect pick for those who are afraid of leaving mark on their leather products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know why but this Leather makes me think of a saying: “The tree that does not bend breaks in the storm.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hand Crafting with fine leathers is akin to taking up a lost fragment an aristocratic history. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a rejection of modern shortcuts in favor of slow, imperfect perfection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
