Our leathers

Our leathers are scourced from the Tuscany region of Italy.  For many years the Tuscany region of Italy has been at the centre of the Italian leather production making some of the world's finests leathers, and we are proud to say the leathers used in our Wallets and Accessories are included among them.

All our leathers are "veg-tan".  Vegtable tanning is an artisan process which uses natural tannins found in trees and vegtables, these tannins are absorbed naturally into the leathers during the tanning process to create unique leathers which retain their natural characteristcs.

All the tanneries LWU uses belong to the "Genuine Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium" trade body.  The Consortium places great emphasis on man's relationship with the natural environmnent, ensuring many of the natural materials used in the tanning process are recovered and reused in other sectors, including agriculture.
