ASTICO MATRIX, HIGH DURABILITY, BREATHABILITY AND DESIGN
Scamosceria Astico is pleased to introduce you to the Matrix Collection, a PU-coated split leather collection that leverages an advanced coating technology, exclusively made in Italy. By adopting in-house built moulds, the technology allows to recreate unique patterns on leather while maintaining the label of “genuine leather” – thanks to the razor-thin polyurethane coating which is thinner than 0,15 mm. Matrix leather has been designed for an elevated resistance to abrasion, flexions and corrosion and it is particularly suitable for the creation of high-performance footwear and accessories. The great technical advantages of Matrix leather are already appreciated by some of the most important global brands that operates in the safety, outdoor and sport industries but they are quickly extending to the fashion world and beyond.
