Working with Badalassi Carlo Wax

Wax leather is highly regarded for its excellent workability.

It cuts cleanly, skives well and produces crisp burnished edges, making it a favourite for premium leather goods. Minor handling marks that occur during crafting are a natural feature of waxed leather and often blend into the surface through gentle buffing or regular use, contributing to its distinctive lived-in appearance.

Why Choose Vegetable Tanned Leather?

Vegetable tanned leather is valued by professional leatherworkers for its natural beauty, durability and ability to develop a rich patina.

Badalassi Carlo Wax offers all the advantages of premium vegetable tanning, including:

  • Beautiful burnished edges
  • Excellent stitch retention
  • Full-grain durability
  • Rich pull-up effect
