Installation All kits are self-adhesive and designed for a clean, professional fit at home. That said, we always recommend professional installation for the best and longest-lasting result. If you'd like us to handle it, simply select the installation add-on at checkout. Installation orders are typically completed and returned within one week. Have questions? Contact us.

Before you install Your camera body must be completely free of any old leatherette, glue residue, oil, and dirt before applying the new cover. A clean surface is essential for a strong, lasting bond. Not sure how to prep your camera? Visit our FAQ for a full walkthrough.

Caring for your leatherette Wipe down with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or excessive moisture. With proper care your new leatherette will age beautifully alongside your camera.

Choosing your leather

Dollaro Calfskin

Produced at the Conceria Walpier Tannery in Tuscany, Italy, Dollaro is a vegetable tanned calfskin with a distinctive flat pebble grain texture that sets it apart from more common smooth or tumbled leathers. Like the Vacchetta Calfskin, Walpier holds membership in the Pelle al Vegetale Consortium — a guarantee of authentic, traditional bark-tanning methods refined over centuries.

The temper is firm, giving your camera covering a structured, well-defined look that holds its shape beautifully. Certain colors carry a subtle two-tone finish that adds quiet depth to the grain, making each covering feel considered and distinctive.

Available in a wide range of colors, Dollaro is one of the most versatile leathers in our lineup; whether you're after something classic or a little bolder.

Saffiano Calfskin

Sourced from a European tannery supplying some of the luxury goods industry, Saffiano Calfskin is defined by its signature crosshatch pattern — a distinctive texture that's become synonymous with high-end bags and accessories from some of the world's most recognized brands.

The leather sits on the firmer side, giving your camera covering a structured feel and clean finish. Like our Smooth Calfskin, it carries a waterproof finish and is notably scratch resistant, making it a practical choice for everyday carry and outdoor use.

Smooth Calfskin

Made in Europe and sourced from a tannery with roots in the luxury goods industry, our Smooth Leather brings a quiet refinement to your camera. The firm, smooth texture feels substantial in hand and gives your kit a clean, classic look.

Built for everyday use and beyond, it's scratch resistant and finished with a waterproof coating, so it holds up well whether you're shooting in the studio or out in the elements.

Sully Goatskin

Tanned at Alran S.A.S. in the Tarn region of southern France — a tannery with over a century of expertise in goatskin — Sully is one of their most refined articles. Each hide goes through a meticulous 23-step process spanning four weeks, including hand boarding to deepen and define the grain, giving it a texture that is immediately recognizable and distinctly its own.

The tanning process combines a vegetable-tanned base with a light mineral retannage, striking a balance between softness and strength. The result is a leather that feels refined in hand while remaining highly durable — qualities that have made it a trusted choice among luxury goods makers for handbags, watch straps, and small leather goods.

Available in a range of rich, consistent colors, Sully is a distinctive choice for those looking for something beyond the expected.

Vacchetta Calfskin

Crafted at the La Bretagna Tannery in Tuscany, Italy, this full grain calfskin is vegetable tanned using traditional methods passed down over centuries, the same bark-tanning techniques that earned La Bretagna membership in the prestigious Pelle al Vegetale Consortium, a mark of authentic Italian craftsmanship.

What sets it apart is the vacchetta process, where oils and waxes are worked into the leather during tanning. The result is a hide that strikes a rare balance, firm enough to protect your camera, yet supple and comfortable in hand. A subtle pull-up effect and rich matte finish give it quiet depth and character.

Over time, this leather develops a natural patina unique to how you use it, making each covering genuinely one of a kind.
