Elegante

An ultra-soft hand gives Elegante (“El-eh-GAHN-teh”) from Italy the look, feel, and sophistication normally found only in delicate lambskin leather. Utilizing only the finest European steers, hand-selected for their suitability, a small family-owned tannery nestled in the foothills of Northern Italy’s mountains has perfected a unique tannage over generations to replicate Elegante’s exceptional softness and gorgeous drape. Averaging 45–50 square feet, Elegante has much larger (and cleaner) cutting yields. This delightful full-grain, semi-aniline is offered in gorgeous refined colors and unique neutrals, and is stocked in the U.S. for fast lead times. Give your clients something stunning to “ooh” and “ahh” about by specifying Cortina’s Elegante for that unmistakably Italian and sophisticated style.
