■ About RADICA
Originally developed by ILCEA to create a marble-like pattern for luxury maisons, RADICA was born. Over time, this leather, dyed with a distinctive mottled effect, became known as "Museum Calf." True to its name, the leather is crafted using an artistic technique, where skilled artisans repeatedly hand-dye the leather to create unique variations. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, as no two patterns are identical.
To preserve its natural texture and maximize the material’s appeal, a pure aniline finish is applied. When polished, the surface reveals a glass-like sheen, highlighting the delicate texture of the leather. The distinctive marbled pattern, meticulously created through labor-intensive dyeing by artisans, and the increasing luster with use, are hallmarks of RADICA leather.
※ Please note that due to individual variations, some pieces may not display the marbled pattern.
