NATURAL VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER


Vegetable tanned leather represents the epitome of quality and beauty and is created to provide a lifetime of use. Discerning buyers understand the artistry and creativity that goes into creating leather of this quality. This leather is kind to the environment, doesn’t expose its creators to toxic substances, and requires a level of craftsmanship that is rarely seen in today’s world of fast-paced manufacturing by machine.

The natural structure is maintained without the use of surface treatments, which again ensures that the leather remains breathable and soft and provides optimal comfort. Over the years, the leather will develop a unique and beautiful patina, characteristic of vegetable tanned leather.

Avoid any contact with water as vegetable tanned is a dry type of leather that will absorb water. In case you do, dry your item immediately by spreading the water out evenly. To avoid any problem with humidity, you can treat your vegetable tanned calf leather with a specific waterproof spray. Popular for its natural patina, the use of care products for this type of leather is not recommended during the first years.

To clean your item, glycerin soap or water can be applied thanks to a soft cotton cloth, but make sure not to get the leather soaked, as vegetable tanned calf is not stable in water. The leather tends to discolor and become harder. If stained, applying any type of care product on a specific area might create a larger stain. Make sure to apply the chosen care product on the whole surface.

Never, under any circumstances use washing-up liquid and chemical cleaning agents on leather bags.
