About

Annonay Dark Brown Alpine Grain Calf is a color variation of Alpine Grain Calf leather produced by Tannerie d'Annonay, a French tannery founded in 1838 in the Ardèche region. The leather features the distinctive Alpine Grain embossed pattern combined with dark brown aniline finishing, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional durability for footwear and leather goods applications.

Tannerie d'Annonay has been producing boxcalf leather since its founding and became a world-wide benchmark in box calf tannage. The tannery is part of Groupe HCP parent company and is located in Annonay, a leather production center since the 12th century where tanning has been practiced since the 13th century.

Characteristics

Dark Brown Alpine Grain Calf is produced as classic aniline calf on sides and embossed with the famous Alpine Grain pattern. The Alpine Grain embossing gives the leather a unique look and feel while providing very scratch resistant properties. The leather features medium shine and displays a small and subtle grain pattern compared to other pebble grain patterns.

The combination of dark brown aniline finishing with the Alpine Grain embossing creates a leather that balances visual richness with practical durability. The embossed pattern helps mask minor scuffs and scratches that occur during normal wear, while the aniline finish allows the leather's natural characteristics to remain visible.

Applications

Dark Brown Alpine Grain Calf is used by many bespoke and classic footwear brands for premium shoe and boot construction. The leather's scratch resistance and refined appearance make it suitable for both formal and casual footwear applications. Additionally, the leather is used in luxury leather goods as lining material, where its durability and subtle grain pattern provide both functional and aesthetic value.
