Vegetable-tanned
Crafted with Tradition
We exclusively use vegetable-tanned leather to craft our goods. This natural process allows the leather to age according to its use and exposure to sunlight, resulting in a patina—a natural finish unique to each item we create. This tanning method produces fully biodegradable leather that is free of chemical agents.
You can read about the different types of leather and tanning processes in the industry on our blog.

The process
This method has been used for centuries and is now an artisanal way to transform cow hides into what we call "leather." Each tannery has its "secret recipes," but the process generally involves organic ingredients such as oak bark, roots, leaves, and other fruits to macerate the hides for 30-60 days in oak barrels. The natural tannins in these ingredients act as an acidic agent during maceration, giving each hide its unique color.
