Buffalo hides are naturally wrinkled. The tanning process preserves the hide’s natural markings, giving the leather a more authentic appearance and a supple, rounded feel.

This leather is tanned using a vegetable tanning process, relying exclusively on natural extracts from wood, leaves and bark (natural tannins) instead of chromium salts and other chemical agents. This traditional method gives the leather a rich, vibrant colour and a unique patina that develops beautifully over time.

Vegetable tanning: Italy.

The tanneries we work with are based in France and Italy and share our commitment to quality and responsibility. Their artisanal expertise is part of a sustainable approach that prioritises renewable resources and transparent, traceable production processes.

A living, natural material

Leather develops a patina over time. With careful maintenance, your accessory can be enjoyed for many years to come.

• Regularly apply a nourishing, non-greasy cream (to be tested first on the inside or on a non-visible part) and without silicone. Please note: apply only to the goatskin parts (and not to the velvet crust parts).
• At first, wear your accessory with dark clothes to avoid bleeding colors on your clothes.
• Warning: your dark clothes whose dye has not been properly fixed could bleed onto your accessory.
• Protect from heat sources.
• Be careful not to snag your accessory, the buffalo could tear.
• Be careful of your accessory rubbing on abrasive surfaces.
• Avoid prolonged contact with water, humidity reinforces the migration of colors on clothing.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or artificial light which can tone the color.
• This buffalo combines all the qualities necessary for daily and long-term use with vegetable tanning. Be careful with very light colors which can darken over time.
