Vegetable Tanned Leather
Unlike traditional chrome-tanned leather, which uses chemical processes, our leather is tanned using natural extracts derived from tree bark, leaves, and other plant-based sources.
This unique method enhances the leather's strength, creating a rich patina and aging beautifully.
