What is box calf?
It is a calfskin leather, finer than standard cowhide. Its surface is taut, with no visible grain, and it catches the light beautifully. It gives a bag a clean, polished look that works with jeans as well as an evening outfit. Colors range from black and chocolate brown to camel, cream beige, pastel blue, pastel green and cherry red.
How do you care for it?
Smooth leather shows light scuffs more quickly than pebbled leather. A soft cloth is usually all you need. From time to time, apply a thin layer of leather conditioner, sparingly. Over time, small marks blend into the patina. To compare leathers, read our article on smooth, pebbled, nubuck and brushed leathers, or see our smooth leather bags and our exceptional leathers.
