Skin

Alligator leather diary covers are rare and precious commodities. Only a handful of tanneries worldwide possess the expertise required to work with alligator, crocodile, and caiman leathers, and we engage the finest professionals in France for this task. Alligator leather is distinguished by its rounded scales on the flanks and structured pattern along the centre of the back. Sourced from alligator farms in Florida, Texas, or Louisiana, the leather is immaculate, devoid of the scars typically found in the wild. Duret Paris employs its considerable skill to craft this alligator leather into premium diary covers and exceptional leather goods.

Color

The black alligator diary cover boasts a deep and intense shade, reflecting a refined and understated luxury. This black color, achieved using natural pigments, is the result of a carefully preserved artisanal method by the brand. The use of these pigments, selected for their quality and ability to infuse the leather with a rich and enduring color, is an art in itself. The black of the alligator, applied with meticulous precision, is distinguished by its depth and subtle sheen. This color is not merely an aesthetic choice; it represents the brand’s commitment to tradition and elegance. Each diary cover is a work of art, where the black hue plays a vital role, offering an appearance that is both timeless and contemporary.
