[Reference retail price: ¥16,500] Battarassi Carlo, located in Florence, Italy, is a world-renowned tanner of the high-quality cowhide "Pueblo." "Pueblo" is made using the "Vacchetta" method, a classic tanning method recognized by the Italian Vegetable Tanning Association, which uses beef tallow. Using a traditional method that does not use chemicals, the leather is soaked in oil for longer than regular leather, which prevents the oil from escaping and results in a rich, rich color. The intentionally napped finish changes over time, developing a beautiful luster.
