It's more than a material; it's a choice. Unlike modern chrome-tanning which relies on heavy metals, vegetable tanning is an ancient, organic process using natural tannins from tree bark and plants. This traditional method results in a leather that is not only durable and beautiful but also develops a unique character over time. For a deeper dive, you can read our full guide on what is vegetable tanned leather.
