Nemesi Cotto by Badalassi Carlo
Badalassi’s Nemesi Cotto (Conquered Nemesis) is vegetable tanned in Italy and features beautifully subtle variations throughout the hide. It’s drum stained with a rustic aniline finish and further polished with a stone glaze giving a mild sheen to the surface. Due to the light milling process, Nemesi retains its original firm temper, making it strong enough for a service boot. It develops a light, but distinctive patina over time, with worn areas being particularly prone to deep and dark tones.
Shell Cordovan is a rare and uniquely exquisite equine leather made from the connective tissue beneath the hide on the rump. The leather is thin and flexible but also extremely dense, characteristics which combine to resist creases and cracks, even after many years of wear (with proper care). This density also reduces the size of pores and other surface characteristics, resulting in a grain so fine that pores and other surface characteristics are all but invisible to the naked eye.
