Tempesti vegetable-tanned leather with linen-style crosshatched grain.
A crosshatched surface gives the Fluco Babele a linen-like texture with a woven appearance that sets it apart from smooth leather. It works well with brushed cases, field watches, and everyday pieces where a more tactile surface adds contrast.
Made from vegetable-tanned cowhide sourced from the Tempesti tannery in Italy. The leather is tanned using natural tannins such as oak and chestnut bark, which develop a gradual patina and add depth over time. The surface is firm with a defined crosshatch pattern and a dry, natural finish.
Backed with a vegetable-tanned lining leather produced in Germany. The lining has a smooth, even surface and is hypoallergenic, colorfast, and structurally stable.
