CUOIO FRANZI

CUOIO FRANZI
CALFSKIN
“Cuoio Franzi”, also known as “Franzino”, is a special leather characterized by a recognizable texture that has become one of the references in the luxury leather goods sector worldwide.
This iconic material was traditionally obtained by processing the leather while still soaked with vegetable agents during the tanning process. The leather was rolled up following a diagonal line, first in a certain direction and then in the perpendicular one.
