Maremma (MM)

The premium select hides required to produce Maremma originate from northern Italy and Switzerland. High quality dyes provide excellent lightfastness and allow a greater saturation and the luxurious surface is complemented by the enriched coloration of two dye baths. The sueded surface is protected by an impregnated, soil resistant treatment which shields the surface without disturbing the suppleness and beauty of this fine leather. Maremma offers a price sensitive alternative to the grain sueded leathers.
