Each Bible cover is slightly different from the others due to the hides which, being vegetable and not synthetic, differ slightly at the end of their processing. For this reason, small imperfections in the leather are not to be considered as defects, but as a sign of the product's authenticity. The engraving technique we adopted to "imprint" the symbol on the cover is called "dry", meaning it uses an ancient marking method that consists of compressing the leather with a red-hot mold, thus creating a permanent embossed engraving.
As a closure system for our Bible covers, we chose the "long lace" solution, which, by wrapping around the entire object, gives it an ancient, old-fashioned style. This system dates back to the time of scribes who used it to hold together less important manuscripts that were not bound in the classic and more expensive way, i.e., by sewing and gluing the various pages (almost always parchment) together to create the manuscript as we know it today.
Genuine calf leather is a natural material obtained from the skin of young cattle (calves), selected for its high quality, fine grain, and softness to the touch. It stands out from other leathers due to its compact yet flexible structure, making it particularly suitable for fine craftsmanship, such as leather goods, bookbinding, footwear, or religious accessories.
When tanned by hand and without synthetic treatments, calf leather retains all its authentic beauty, making it ideal for high-end products with a low environmental impact.
