Buttero is a hard-type whole skin with lots of oil on the skin surface, which is an impression form of the shortcoming (burst) of vegetable. Buttero is made of French raw leather (premium raw leather) and the oil contained on the skin surface ensure highly compact and dense tissues and its smooth and soft surface bring out the essence of leather.
Buttereo leather uses the shoulder of cow hide. Neck creases of tigers and blood vessels are slightly visible in the shoulder area. However, the chrome tanning pigment technique is not used to conceal such scratches or patterns. Instead, the leather is dyed with vegetable tannin to keep intact the natural texture. The high fiber density allows richness of colors or excellent color generation, like Italia, besides elasticity. Once familiarized, the moist texture of the material will be lustrous and transparent, providing a unique feeling. While vegetable tanned leather has the feeling of warmth compared to chrome tanned leather, a small amount of scratches are unavoidable with the former and it's likely that spots will be created when it's wet, where these two factors are its flaws. However, these drawbacks are part of the uniqueness and the changes in the leather are to be embraced and enjoyed.
