Vitello means “calf” in Italian, and it is our heaviest and most durable leather. With its smooth surface and subtle shine, it offers an elegant look that is perfect for a chic, clean silhouette. Over time, Vitello softens slightly while maintaining its original appearance — aging beautifully without losing its refined structure. It is a leather made to last, both in form and feeling.

If you are looking for a softer and more textured leather, Rio is the perfect choice. Also made from calf leather, Rio has a supple feel and a naturally grained surface with a more matte finish compared to Vitello. It is soft, yet strong — offering a relaxed elegance while maintaining its durability. Over time, Rio becomes even more supple, developing character while keeping its overall shape and look intact.
