Tan in saffiano, specifically
Tan saffiano keeps a warm leather colour without the patina — it stays the shade it was made. For a retailer who wants every box on the shelf to match, that is the advantage over hide.
What tan does for the piece
A mid-toned warm ground that reads as leather whatever it is made of. It is quietly good for men's jewellery and watches, where a black box can look severe.
What tan shows
Almost nothing, and in hide it darkens where it is handled rather than marking. That patina is usually why it is chosen.
Which metals and stones tan suits
Yellow gold, warm stones, menswear and watches. Too warm and too low in contrast for diamonds and platinum.
Why saffiano leather
Saffiano is leather finished with a fine cross-hatch press and a protective coating. It is the most hard-wearing leather finish we use.
Putting your logo on saffiano leather
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
Cutting the interior in saffiano leather
Wrapped over a rigid shell, with the cross-hatch running square to the box edge.
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.
