What is Box Calf and how is it made?
Box calf refers to premium chrome-tanned calfskin. The process involves tanning lightweight calf hides using chromium salts to create a strong, supple, and uniform fiber structure. Following dyeing, the leather receives a refined, lightly polished surface finish that highlights the natural grain. (Historically, the term originates from 19th-century London bootmaker Box, who popularized this durable calf leather).
