These buffalo hides are entirely tanned with vegetables. The vegetable tannins have been carefully selected to obtain this suppleness and this very natural appearance. The naturalness of this material is reinforced thanks to its aniline finish to obtain a transparent color while preserving the texture of the skin.

Leather develops a patina over time; it is a living and natural material. The care with which you take care of your accessory will allow you to keep it for a long time.

Vegetal tanning: Italy.

Vegetal-Tanned Leather

This leather is treated using a vegetable tanning process, which relies solely on natural extracts from wood, leaves, or bark (natural tannins) instead of chrome salts or other chemical agents. This traditional method, which is more environmentally friendly, gives the leather a rich, evolving tone and a unique patina that becomes more beautiful over time.

The tanneries we work with are located in Europe and share our commitment to quality and responsibility. Their artisanal expertise is part of a sustainable approach that emphasizes the use of renewable resources and the implementation of transparent, traceable production systems.

LWG-Certified Leather (Leather Working Group)

The leather used for this model is certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), a guarantee of responsible practices throughout the supply chain. This certification ensures the responsible management of water and energy, strict waste treatment processes, regulated working conditions, and rigorous traceability. It also contributes to combating deforestation and supports the development of an environmentally respectful industry.

This is a premium leather, ethically and sustainably produced, that highlights both environmental care and artisanal craftsmanship.
