Key Features
About The Minerva Box Leather
The Stanton padded leather straps are made from Minerva Box leather sourced from the renowned Badalassi Carlo tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Minerva Box leather is a tumbled vegetable-tanned leather which has a natural grain. This means that the texture of the leather will vary slightly from strap to strap. Overall, Minerva Box is one of the best vegetable-tanned leathers in the world, and it makes for a supple and richly coloured strap.
About The Suede Leather
The Stanton suede straps are made from genuine Italian suede leather from Opera, an Italian tannery in the heart of Tuscany that has been operating for more than three decades. They’re one of the best tanneries in the world and as a result, the strap is soft and pliable from the outset.
