Lucca (LC)

Lucca’s suede surface and luxurious suppleness of hand are achieved with an additional fat liquoring process during the retanning phase of production. And unlike our other suede leathers, Lucca is heavier in weight and when combined with a specialized milling process, features an elegant pebble grain surface protected with a soil resistant treatment. The dyes used in Lucca provide excellent light fastness properties for a naked leather.
