Thick Leather - Vegetable Leather

Thick leather, especially that which is vegetable-tanned , is used in the manufacture of products such as belts, saddles for horses and holsters due to its exceptional strength, resistance and durability . Herbal tanning is a process in which the leather is processed with the help of natural tannins, resins, and natural oils, which makes it even firmer and more resistant to external influences . This process is slower and more expensive than synthetic processing methods , but it results in a higher quality material that is distinguished by its natural appearance, flexibility and longevity.

The thick leather, which has been put on by plants, was used as early as the time of Christ for the production of various products, because it was ideal for the production of objects that had to withstand heavy use and difficult conditions . The use of this type of leather enabled long-term durability and resistance to physical exertion, which was essential for the needs of people of that time.

Today, thanks to its traditional processing process, plant-tanned leather carries a deeper aesthetic and historical significance, but also a high level of functionality and luxury. We purchase it in Italy, where it has been traditionally produced for centuries, according to the same recipe by the Italian Masters of leather.
