Astell&Kern KANN ULTRA Leather Cases

Get protection with style, with this premium leather case for KANN ULTRA Digital Audio Player, by Astell&Kern.

The case for KANN ULTRA is made of high-quality vegetable tanned leather from BADALASSI CARLO and CONCERIA WALPIER, and boasts a high degree of perfection that matches the design of KANN ULTRA. Available in two colours and wrapped around the entire product, providing excellent protection and the best grip with a perfect fit.

The Black colour case of KANN ULTRA uses Badalassi Carlo's Minerva leather. At first, the leather looks matte with a lack of sheen, but over time it adds a natural luster and deepens the color. This is because there is no artificial coating on the leather surface, so the gloss rises naturally from the oil contained in the leather itself as it is used. As with other vegetable tanned leathers, Minerva is especially beautiful with time.

Badalassi Carlo is a tannery founded by Carlo Badalassi, a professor at a leather school in the Santa Croce region. He 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. Vegetable leather processing is an eco-friendly leather manufacturing method that takes a long time to complete by tanning leather only with tannins extracted from plants.

The Navy colour case of KANN ULTRA uses Walpier's Buttero leather. This is 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.

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. Walpier's vegetable tanning is a traditional leather processing method handed down from father to son for centuries in the Tuscany region. The tanning process usually takes 40 days and is a process only practiced by Italian tanners of the world.
