Requiring More Time And Labor, Vegetable Tanning Allows The Leather To Keep Its Natural Texture And Character. This Includes Wrinkles, Uneven Color, And Small Indentations — All Of Which Bring Features Unique To Each Item.

    Over Time And With Use, Vegetable-Tanned Leather Changes Its Texture And Color — Called "Patina" — With Scratches, Exposure To Sunlight, And Contact With Moisture From The Wearer's Skin. These Features Allow Each One Of Our Items To Develop Its Own Unique Character To Complement Its Owner.

We Source Our Leather From Tanneries In The USA, Italy And France That Are World-Renowned For Producing The Highest Quality Leather In The Market. Their Natural Processes Are Based On Centuries Of Tradition, So It Is Not Only In Agreement With Our Aesthetic, But Our Commitment To Environmental Responsibility.
