The case is available in three colors and is wrapped around the entire product, providing excellent protection and the best grip with a perfect fit.
Leather from BADALASSI CARLO
Badalassi Carlo, a tannery founded by CARLO BADALASSI, who was a professor at a leather school in the Santa Croce region, has been producing leather for more than 40 years by integrating the traditional vegetable leather processing method developed in Tuscany with his unique theory and technology.
Vegetable leather processing is an eco-friendly leather manufacturing method that takes a long time to complete by tanning leather only with tannins extracted from plants.
[Mud] Khaki Brown Case
The Khaki Brown case of KANN MAX uses Walpier vegetable tanned leather.
This is Astell&Kern’s first-time using Mud leather, which is a leather product that contains a unique beauty with a strong, yet soft feel.
Mud leather is processed using raw hides from northern France that have narrow pores and excellent quality.
This high quality, full-grain, vegetable tanned leather undergoes minimal artificial post-processing which produces a beautiful, natural luster while maintaining some of the original and natural markings. Since Mud is milled leather, the original grain is well preserved and remains true to its natural embossed texture. Although it is a very tough and durable leather, it has a unique feature of having a soft, smooth feel that is achieved by applying a light paraffin wax one time prior to milling.
