Full grain leather

IT: Fiore della pelle - Grain

Definition

Full grain leather represents the most prized part of the hide, the one that retains its natural surface intact. As a collector and craftsman, I appreciate its ability to give straps unparalleled strength and beauty. This material is chosen for its durability and its ability to age magnificently, developing a unique patina over time. It is the material of choice for those seeking quality and authenticity in their accessories. In Milano Straps straps, full grain leather is synonymous with excellence and attention to detail.
