veg-tanned leather

Veg-tanned leather is a natural leather tanned using tannins derived from plant materials like tree bark, nuts, and leaves. This traditional process involves soaking the hides in tannin-rich solutions, which gradually transform the leather, making it durable, supple, and environmentally friendlier than synthetic methods. The result is a material that ages beautifully, developing a unique patina over time. Veg-tanned leather is commonly used for high-quality products such as belts, wallets, and saddles due to its strength and natural appearance. It is valued for its craftsmanship, sustainability, and ability to be personalized through tooling and finishes.
