Leather Production with over 100 years of History

Buttero is a high-quality leather produced by the Walpier Company in the tanning region of Tuscany, Italy.
It is a long-established company and well-known by professionals in the leather industry for its top-class price and quality.

Buttero leather is made from the finest shoulder part of adult steers and uses a traditional process that has continued for hundreds of years.
Oil-leather has basic properties which make it easy to handle and require little maintenance. The leather is treated with 100% vegetable dyes to create colors which are vivid and unique.
The distinctively Italian “fragrance, color and quality” stand out vibrantly.

Traditional leather processing requires skills and technology that cannot be mass-produced. If one compares this production with that of car manufacturing, the focus on every single detail is similar to companies like Ferrari or Lamborghini.
(Be assured that our company purchases Buttero leather directly from an authorized dealer.)

Development of Color and Beauty with Aging

Only natural extracts from plants, flowers, and bark are used in the dyeing process. This manufacturing method is considerate of environmental issues so no chemicals are used.
The craftsmen make dyes using natural materials, so making the same dye again depends on the time and season.
Once you see the colors you will be captivated. That is why they are often used by first-class apparel brands for their bags and wallets.

Buttero’s greatest attraction is its aging. After just a few months and even after many years of use, the leather becomes softer, more wonderous, and even more familiar to its owner.

As the leather is used, its color becomes darker, its luster increases, and the contrast of its tiger pattern stands out even more. The leather color will evolve by itself over time becoming even more attractive the more it is used.

Made in Great Britain
Highest Quality Bridle Leather

The Dazzling Gloss of the Thomas Ware Leather Company

Britain respects tradition and formality.
Bridle leather is by far the best leather born from such a country.
Thomas Ware and Sons Ltd. is a long-established tanner that has been around for more than 170 years. Its classic leather has been used by many of the world’s leading brands.

Originally, they developed strong leather to make harnesses to withstand the power of horses. They created strength and durability by impregnating the leather with wax and beeswax, a process not performed by ordinary leather makers.

Their characteristic pattern, called “Bloom,” not only looks beautiful, it is also one of the strongest of all leathers, possessing the rare qualities of being water resistant and having a captivating luster.
This historical leather brand combines strength and a sense of luxury through its careful attention to every detail.

The selection of high-quality raw hides and the traditional techniques that have been followed for more than 170 years are very laborious and take about a year to complete.
The Thomas Ware Leather Company is also famed for its dedication to the highest quality as it does not ship any unsatisfactory products.
Their leather cannot be mass-produced so its availability can vary and is considered a rare commodity.
If it were likened to a car making company, it would be like Rolls-Royce or Jaguar, because of its commitment to high-quality, luxurious details and for being the choice of top-class gentlemen.

The “Bloom” will naturally disappear after a few months of use and turn into beautiful shiny leather.
