La Perla Azzurra ALASKA Regular (Natural)
La Perla Azzurra ALASKA Regular (Natural)
We use leather called "ALASKA" made by "La Perla Azzurra", a tanner certified by the Italian Botanical Tannin Leather Association.
La Perla Azzurra is a plant extracted from France's high quality thick leather and the Argentinean-made Kepracho tree trunk, which was founded in 1967 in Santa Croce, Tuscany, Italy. It is a long-established tanner that continues to make the finest Italian leather tanned with tannins.
Alaska is a double-shoulder dyed leather that is waxed and has a shrink process in the drum.
◆ Bridle leather (wax pull) is soaked with a wax component called white bloom and oil so as to stand out on the surface. The biggest feature is that it looks different from other leathers at a glance. The appearance of the surface will change depending on how the bloom falls. When you wipe the bloom completely, the luster of the wax that has already penetrated the skin appears on the surface and becomes glossy.
For normal maintenance, wipe with a soft cloth. When brushing or wiping with a strong force, the wax rubs and disappears, becoming darker and changing to an aged look at an early stage.
* Depending on how often you use it, it will be in a fully polished state in about a month if you wear it from the non-polished state.
*Leather color and texture may vary slightly depending on the lot.
*This leather has a good texture and is not completely colored. Please note that sweat or rain may cause discoloration. Be especially careful when wearing whitish clothes.

A great strap with refined aging; I have had mine for a little over a month, combined with the Bund pedestal. The lighter color has mellowed into a buttery tan color, with softness that conforms easily to my wrist. Feels sophisticated, but a bit Sporty, and great for everyday wear.
Thank you for using strap and pad for BUND. leather gets finally beautiful patina which makes your own one of a kind.
