What is vegetable tanned leather?
Vegetable tanning is the process of turning animal hides into leather with the addition of tannins naturally contained in bark, roots and berries. In use since before the Bronze Age, it's a time-consuming process that can require as much as three months of labour-intensive work. By contrast, most modern leather is made using a chemical tanning system which is much faster and therefore less costly. Vegetable tanned leather is thus a sure sign of quality and exclusivity.
What are the advantages of vegetable tanned leather?
Being a more gradual process than chemical dyeing, natural tanning retains more of the unique character of the leather, so that you can appreciate the quality of Handmacher's premium materials. It also acts more gently on the animal hide, with the result that vegetable tanned leather is less likely to crack and split than chemical tanned alternatives – a factor which chimes with our ethos of creating products that will last a lifetime. And the very fact that vegetable tanning is a lengthy process gives the artisans skilled in this age-old craft time to monitor the progress of each piece, adjusting the mix of ingredients for optimum results.
