Semi-matte

IT: semi-opaco

Definition

A finish with reduced light reflection, positioned between glossy and fully matte. It is achieved through specific treatments that create a slightly satin texture, giving the strap an elegant, sophisticated look without the extreme of complete matteness.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between semi-matte and fully matte?

Semi-matte retains a slight light reflection, giving it elegance, whilst fully matte absorbs light completely for a more austere effect.

How do you maintain a semi-matte finish over time?

With regular cleaning using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products that can alter the satin texture of the surface.

Is semi-matte suitable for all strap materials?

Yes, it can be applied to leather, fabrics and synthetic materials, although the aesthetic result varies slightly depending on the material's porosity.
