ASTELL & KERN SP2000 Leather Case

The SP2000 case is available in two types of leather and further enhances the beautiful design and sophisticated crown design of the SP2000.

The Black case uses Walpier's Buttero leather.

Buttereo leather uses cowhide shoulder. The folds of the blood vessels of the neck are slightly visible in the shoulder area.

However, the chrome tanning pigment technique is not used to hide these scratches or patterns.

Instead, the leather is dyed with vegetable tannin to keep the natural texture intact.

The high fiber density allows richness of colors or excellent color generation, like Italy, as well as elasticity.

Once familiar, the wet texture of the material will be shiny and transparent, providing a unique feel.

Established in 1973 in San Miniato, Tuscany, the Walpier tannery has been in business for three generations and has a long tradition of manufacturing leather products based on the vegetable tanning process.

The tannery handles 100% cowhide imported from France and is a member of Vera Pelle, the Italian association of vegetable leather tanners.

The traditional vegetable tanning technology of the Walpier tannery has been handed down from father to son for centuries in the Tuscany region.

The tanning process usually lasts 40 days by putting rawhide with natural tanning extracted from a variety of trees in a drum.

This is a processing method that is only practiced by Italian tanners in the world.

The leather products that undergo the vegetable-based tanning process show the lifestyle of the owner vividly and make the products their own, as it takes a long time to become a part of them, depending on the way of owner manipulation.

The juniper green case uses Tempesti's Elbamatt leather.

Elbamatt leather is made from high-quality leather that has the highest density and thickness among the different parts of the cow and is highly resistant to scratches due to its high oil content as a whole, which can change over time.

Tempesti, which laid the foundation for VERA PELLE, the Italian vegetable tanning association, has been producing natural leather for four generations since 1945.

Leather has been produced in Tuscany since the Etruscans settled in the area in the 8th century BC. , and for the past 3,000 years, Tempesti has honored that tradition by making the finest leather in rich colors.

The rawhide is carefully selected from farms that comply with strict animal and environmental protection regulations implemented by Northern European countries such as France, Sweden, Denmark and Belgium, which are the main world markets for rawhide.
