Our products are crafted from LWG-Certified Crazy Horse leather (certified by the Leather Working Group), valued for its durability, natural character, and rich texture. The leather has a smooth matte surface that gradually develops a beautiful patina over time, allowing each piece to gain subtle marks and tonal variations that enhance its unique vintage look.

We currently work with the following colors: Forest Green, Bordeaux, Chestnut, Cognac, and Light Cognac.

If you would like your item in a custom color, feel free to contact our support team at sales@asperaria.com, and we will gladly create a piece tailored to your vision.
