Product Description
A premium choice for footwear and leathercraft, Rubetta Box Calf Leather offers the perfect balance of refined elegance and dependable durability. Supplied as a full skin, the leather features a smooth, polished finish that makes it ideal for high-end shoe uppers and luxury leather goods.
This calf leather is sourced for its fine grain and minimal imperfections, making it a go-to material for precise, clean-cut work. The "box" finish refers to its semi-gloss surface - firm yet supple - with just enough shine to elevate the final product without appearing overly glossy.
