What is Vegetable tanned?
Vegetable tanning is the most traditional and natural tanning method of then all. It has been around for centuries and has since then been perfected in every possible way. This method does not use chromium, making it significantly better for the environment compared to the chrome tanning. The leather can also be recycled and is biodegradable. Instead of chemicals such as chromium, tannins are used (hence the word tanning). This is substance that naturally occurs in for example bark. The bark of trees like oak, chestnut, mangrove and many more are used to extract tanning into which hides are immersed for several weeks. The leather gets a wonderful earthy, woody and natural smell. But the method is costly due to the traditional process, the need of highly skilled craftsmen and the long production time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
