Frequently asked questions

What is Ingrassato Idro leather?

Ingrassato Idro is a premium Italian cowhide suede that has been heavily infused with natural oils and waxes during the tanning process. This "greasing" (ingrassato is Italian for "greased" or "fattened") creates a natural water-repellent quality within the leather itself, rather than through an applied surface coating.

Is Ingrassato Idro suede water resistant?

Yes. The oil and wax infusion process gives Ingrassato Idro a natural water-repellent shield. This is a property of the tanning process itself, making the leather resistant to moisture while remaining breathable and supple.

What is Ingrassato Idro suede used for?

Ingrassato Idro is well suited to applications requiring durability and abrasion resistance in demanding conditions — including footwear, bags, belts, outerwear accents, and heavy-use accessories where both water resistance and a refined suede finish are desired.

How is Ingrassato Idro different from standard suede?

Standard suede is typically more absorbent and less resistant to moisture and abrasion. Ingrassato Idro's oil and wax infusion process gives it meaningfully greater durability, natural water resistance, and a denser, thicker hand feel — making it suited to harsher use cases than untreated suede.
