Our leathers
Our mission is to bring you leather accessories made from the very best veg-tanned leather. To achieve this we use leathers from the Tuscany region of Italy.
For many years Tuscany has been at the centre of Italian leather production making some of the finests leathers in the world, and we are proud to say the leathers used in our Wallets and Accessories are included among them.
All our leathers are Full Grain "Veg-Tan".
Vegtable tanning is a centuries old process which uses natural tannins found in trees and vegtables, these tannins are absorbed into the leathers during the tanning process to create unique leathers which retain their natural characteristcs. It is the use of these leathers which allows us to create a unique article which can be cherished for years.
The tanneries we use belong to the "Genuine Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium." Which is an Italian trade body and benchmark for excellence in leather production. 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 recyled into other sectors, including agriculture.
