Ennobled Suede COLLECTION

ASTICO DESIGN

Alpaca
Suede split leather ennobled with a highly resistant finish which confers a full-grain “nappa” look and a natural touch. This leather is ideal for producing both leather goods and footwear as the finish is particularly resistant to scratches and mechanical flexions.
