Why is vegetable tanned leather loved for its ageing and patina?
One of the most admired qualities of vegetable-tanned leather is its ability to develop a unique patina over time. As it ages, the natural fibers in the leather react to sunlight, moisture, and the oils from your hands, creating a rich and personalized finish. Unlike synthetic or chrome-tanned leathers, these changes add depth and character to your creations, making them even more special.
This heritage crafting material also connects artisans to age-old traditions. Using vegetable tannins derived from bark, leaves, and other natural sources, the tanning process is slow and deliberate, providing superior quality and a natural, earthy scent that synthetic tanning processes simply cannot replicate.
