DESIGN

The Wax leather used in the SP1000M Gold bundle leather case is a premium vegetable leather made from an Italian tanner named 'Badalassi Carlo'.
It's a manufacture of Italian and French origin. Badalassi Carlo was made by Professor Carlo Badalassi, who is known for his excellent skills with leather. Unlike modern methods, he uses a traditional method of making leather that requires extensive time and devotion.
