Vegetable tanning
Natural quality, a guarantee for life
Our creations are made exclusively from vegetable-tanned Tuscan cowhide, better known as leather.
Tuscan cowhide is a fine leather, processed using the ancient technique of vegetable tanning, a slow and sophisticated procedure that uses tannin, a 100% natural substance extracted from the bark of certain plants, such as quebracho, chestnut, oak, mimosa, and therefore completely free of chemical and harmful substances.
This long process, expertly carried out by some historic tanneries, according to procedures mostly carried out by hand now as in the past, makes the leather even more valuable and unrivalled in quality, strength and value.
Natural tanning makes the leather soft, extremely resistant to wear, natural and hypoallergenic and gives it an unmistakable scent.
Leather highlights the unique characteristics of each hide, such as color variations, surface irregularities, grain and wrinkles, which become evidence of high quality and a guarantee of naturalness.
Vegetable tanning gives leather a unique characteristic: it changes over time, thanks to the reaction between natural tanning substances and sunlight.
Over the years, leather changes and enriches its appearance, it becomes personalized according to the use made of it, acquiring greater beauty and splendor, aging with style and dignity.
Each creation will tell about us and our experiences, it will become a testimony and memory of our history.
