Archival BV Repair Calf
Our Repair Calf is sourced from the Indian sub-continent. The leather is initially tanned at source using white synthetic tannins. When the skins arrive in our Edinburgh Tannery, we remove the majority of this original tannage and then re-tan, using Tara or Sumac. In addition to improving the leather with these superior tannages, we also add our Archival tannage, yielding leather that is both durable and a pleasure to use.
*These skins are produced in a mixture of whole skins or 'sides' (half skins taken from much larger whole skins).
More information on the development of our Archival Tannage may be found here.
You can see examples of books bound in our Archival BV Repair Calf in the 'Showcase' area of our web site.
- *Average Skin Size: 0.95 - 1.05m² (10¼ - 11¼ft²)
- Approx. Cut Size: 80 x 50cm
- Standard Substance: 0.9mm
- Colours available: 8 shades
- Grades: II, III and IV
