This fine Italian Saffiano Calf is ideal for luxury goods like handbags, belts, wallets, footwear, briefcases, and accessories.

What is Saffiano Leather?

Saffiano leather is a premium, textured leather originally developed in Italy and made famous by luxury fashion houses like Prada. Saffiano is defined by its signature crosshatch pattern, achieved through a specialized embossing process using heat and pressure. High-quality Saffiano leather is typically crafted from full-grain or top-grain calf hides and finished with a protective coating that enhances durability, making it resistant to scratches, stains, and water. To identify genuine Saffiano leather, look for crisp embossing, subtle sheen, and a firm yet pliable hand feel.
