“Waxed Matte Black Leather” [Features] This leather is made from vegetable-tanned leather that has been left unfinished without surface treatment. It has been waxed to address the color fading, which is a drawback of unfinished leather. Because it is only waxed, it is prone to scratches and scuffs, but the surface can be polished to bring out a shine, making scratches and scuffs less noticeable. *This is the same care as for leather shoes.
