At Cinturificio Balzani, Positano leather represents a perfect example of high-quality craftsmanship and environmental sustainability. Produced by MB Pellami in Santa Croce sull’Arno, this vegetable-tanned calf leather combines tradition and innovation, ensuring aesthetic excellence and durability. With the certification of the Leather Working Group (LWG), Positano reflects our commitment to a responsible future.
Characteristics and origin
Positano leather comes from European calf shoulders (Bos Taurus), carefully selected to achieve 80% first choice. Sourced from farms that respect animal welfare, these hides ensure high quality and compliance with environmental standards.
The thickness, available in 2.8 - 3.0 mm and 3.4 - 3.5 mm, offers versatility, allowing for the creation of durable belts with a sophisticated look. The leather is dyed through to maintain color over time and features an aniline and wax finish that enhances the natural softness and sheen of the material.
Vegetable tanning: tradition and sustainability
The vegetable tanning process uses natural tannins extracted from plants and trees, an ancient practice that ensures not only a reduced environmental impact but also unique aesthetics and quality. Positano leather, with its full-grain look, preserves the natural texture, offering durability and aesthetic appeal. Each hide has an average size of 1.50 square meters, ideal for the artisanal crafting of belts that blend beauty and durability.
Thanks to LWG certification, Positano is not just a premium material but also a conscious choice, perfectly aligned with Cinturificio Balzani's sustainability values.
Ultimately, Positano is a leather that combines craftsmanship, aesthetics, and sustainability, providing a perfect solution for those seeking high-quality belts made with attention to the environment and Italian tanning tradition.
