Red Waxy Leather Strap for Panerai

WAX leather comes from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in the leather region of Tuscany, Italy. It is known as "breathing leather". It is tanned with natural plant tannins, animal fats and vegetable waxes. Irregular cracks like gemstones are naturally formed during the tanning process. Its leather is tight, rich in fat, soft to the touch, and feels like gemstones. When the leather is bent or scratched, the leather will change color. When it is restored to a flat state and rubbed by hand, it will recover. That's why it is known as "breathing leather". Leather goods made from it have unique and fascinating ornamental properties.
