Pueblo (Italian cowhide)

Pueblo is one of the signature leathers from Badalassi Carlo. This article is derived from their line of Minerva (vegetable tanned cowhide). It starts as a smooth classic veg tan cowhide and then further finished with a buffing process giving it a lightly napped (sueded) surface. Pueblo develops patina very quickly and the surface will eventually smooth out giving it a vintage appearance.
