Astell&Kern KANN ULTRA Leather Case

The case of KANN ULTRA is made of high-quality vegetable tanned leather from CONCERIA WALPIER and BADALASSI CARLO, and boasts a high degree of perfection that matches the design of KANN ULTRA.

The case is available in ‘Black’ and ‘Navy’ colors, and is wrapped around the entire product, providing excellent protection and the best grip with a perfect fit.

Badalassi Carlo, a tannery founded by CARLO BADALASSI, who was a professor at a leather school in the Santa Croce region, has been producing leather for more than 40 years by integrating the traditional vegetable leather processing method developed in Tuscany with his unique theory and technology.

The leathers of Badalassi Carlo use the vacchetta technique that was developed in Tuscany and then processed using vegetable oil for tanning.

The company pursues high quality by creating products using small batch, handcrafted traditional techniques rather than mass production. The tannery is highly regarded and preferred by famous manufacturers around the world who value the quality of leather produced.

Established in 1973 in San Miniato, Tuscany, Italy, Walpier Tannery has been in business for three generations and has a long tradition of making leather products based on their highly regarded vegetable tanning processes. The tannery uses only 100% raw hide leathers imported from France and is a member of Vera Pelle, Italy’s association of vegetable-based leather tanners.

Minerva leather, unlike Minerva Box, is a plain, un-milled leather that looks matte at first, but as it gets used, the color deepens and the luster increases, so you can see and feel the change over time.

The navy color case of KANN ULTRA uses Walpier's Buttero leather. Buttero leather is a leather made by milling the leather to make it soft and natural on the surface. Buttero leather, like other leather used by Walpier, is manufactured from the finest French hides, so the texture is dense, and the surface is smooth.
