Charlado Bordo is a mirror-gloss cowhide patent leather from \u003cstrong\u003eTata International\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the world's leading producers of patent leather, finished in a deep, cool wine red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatent leather is made by laying a thick, clear, high-gloss coating over finished leather. On this hide, you look at the red \u003cem\u003ethrough\u003c\/em\u003e that clear layer, which is what gives patent its wet, liquid depth, a shine no polish or wax can imitate.
