From Astell&Kern
KANN CUBE is the most powerful digital music player in the Astell&Kern lineup and its leather case is designed to enhance its impressive look and feel.
Two different leather options in the colors of Olive Green and Black have been developed with an ’A’ logo pattern which provides beautiful aesthetics and proper protection plus ventilation.
The Olive Green color case uses Minerva leather from ’Badalassi Carlo’.
The Minerva leather case was made from a process called ’Full Vegetable Tanning’. This traditional method has been used in Italy for over 200 years. The process brings out the special characteristic of leather while creating a natural tanning look.
'Badalassi Carlo' was made by Professor Carlo Badalassi, who is known for his excellent skills with leather. Unlike modern methods, he uses a traditional method of making leather that requires extensive time and devotion. His reputation is well-known among top expensive brands due to his focus on the leather quality over quantity.
The dakota leather used in the Black leather case is a premium vegetable leather made from an Italian tanner named ’Ra Perla Azura’.
It's a manufacture of Italian and French origin.
'La Perla Azura' was founded in 1967 and has a long history over 50 years.
It is located in 'Santa Croce sull´Arno' which is only high-end leather production district in Italy.
