Rustico
Inspired by Italian craftwork and made in a fourth-generation artisanal tannery, Rustico embodies the organic ruggedness and comfort of quality, old-world leathers. Made on European hides, Rustico is treated with aniline dyes and paraffin wax to embrace and showcase the natural variations, markings, and unique characteristics of each hide. Cortina’s Italian artisans go a step further, subtly blending a protective finish over the natural grain, making Rustico suitable for most applications. The perfect instrument for the discerning designer, Rustico will patina with grace and style, lightening and darkening, and become more beautiful with age and use—like a favorite pair of quality, well-worn shoes.
Environmental Stewardship: Rustico is lead free, emits low VOCs, and has achieved an Indoor Advantage Gold certificate from SCS.
