If you’re a leathercrafter looking for the perfect material for your next project, Badalassi leather is a name you need to know. Sourced from the renowned Badalassi Carlo tannery in Tuscany, Italy, this full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather is prized for its natural beauty, durability, and timeless character.
What makes Badalassi leather ideal for crafting?
- Full-grain quality: Retains the strongest, most natural part of the cow hide
- Vegetable-tanned: Eco-friendly and chemical-free tanning process
- Develops a patina: Gains richness and depth with use and time
- Perfect for handmade goods: Adds uniqueness and value to every piece
Whether you’re crafting handmade tablet covers, laptop bags, travel duffels, wallets, belts or watch straps, Badalassi leather offers a professional finish and an authentic look that gets better as it ages.
The bags in the video below were handcrafted and hand sewn by Markus. He used Badalassi wax pull-up leather in colour petrol, with a 1.8mm thickness. This is ideal for maintaining the accessories’ structure and durability. The design is beautifully paired with 1.5mm black veg-tanned leather for the straps and trim, creating a bold contrast and refined finish.
