The value of embellishment?

If I just HAD to have leather, maybe a well executed plinth with  clean work-stitching, color choice to satisfy a secret inner fetish?
Something you discover it's leather only by touching it.

You would have to be VERY careful with the yearly conditioner! I carefully apply near the drivers of the speakers of my speakers. Really lovely touch to  the speaker baffle, top and back panel. Turntable? I don't approve of this one. 

To each his own. I'm kind disappointed to see this is VPI approved.
I like VPI! It's a galvanizing brand, but I'm in. I dig the high dollar Tech Das and others, but I don't have that kind of setup.

"Sold a leather coat at the garage sale to a lady who was not sized accordingly.
Maybe she's gonna just cut it up and glue it to her TT."
fuzztone- you killed it! LMAO.

Looks very tacky and haphazardly stitched together.  Doubtful the leather does anything but maximize profit for VPI. Ugly too. 

It’s my understanding that this was a very limited run and was more of a aesthetic novelty.   No need to over think it.  

Pitch in  for a "unique" cleaner, packaged in an artisan, eco friendly bottle? I see $$ with the right idea.

I imagine suede is too risky-maintaining the nap with brush is just asking for it.
