This veg tan leather is their top grade, it is full grain and has a nice supple feel with a small amount of firmness. Minerva Box is a vacchetta leather that is infused with special blend of Italian fat wax giving it the famous hand and feel attributed with the vacchetta name. The grain has a natural pebbled texture that adds beautiful depth to the leather.
