About our leather

 

We create using 100% full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, one of the most durable non-synthetic leathers around. The leather develops a beautiful natural patina over time, which is one of the key factors in making it so desirable in partnership with its strength as a material.

Vegetable tanning is the process undertaken to turn a raw leather hide into one that is workable and long-lasting. Raw hides are stuffed into large drums filled with water and a mixture of tannins (natural materials such as bark and seeds). These tannins then work their magic as they sit in the drum with the leather and strengthen the hides in a process that can last for 2 months or more. This process is also what infuses these hides with fragrant aromas that people often check for when making sure they are buying 'real' leather. It can often be hard to imitate these natural smells on synthetic leathers.
