The Heritage of Conceria Walpier
Conceria Walpier is an esteemed Italian tannery located in Tuscany, a region known worldwide for its masterful leather traditions. Founded generations ago, Walpier has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest vegetable-tanned leathers on the market. Their Buttero line—famous among craftsmen and luxury brands alike—showcases the beauty of natural, sustainable tanning methods that age gracefully with time.
Vegetable tanning is at the heart of Walpier’s process. Using plant-based tannins instead of harsh chemicals, this traditional method ensures not only durability and depth of color, but also an environmentally responsible approach.
What Makes Buttero Box Unique?
Buttero Box is a refined variation of Walpier’s famous Buttero leather. It is smooth, firm, and full-grain, yet it has a natural “box” finish that brings out rich tones and elegant character. Unlike corrected or embossed leathers, Buttero Box retains its authentic grain, meaning every hide tells its own story.
Key qualities of Buttero Box include:
-
Durability: With proper care, it develops a patina that grows richer over the years.
-
Structure: Slightly firmer than some softer leathers, making it ideal for bookbinding.
-
Finish: Its natural sheen and depth of color enhance the craftsmanship of any piece.
