Pepito L

These buffalo hides are fully vegetable-tanned. The vegetable tannins have been carefully selected to achieve this softness and very natural appearance. The natural quality of this material is enhanced by its aniline finish, which provides a transparent color while preserving the grain of the hide.

The leather develops a patina over time—it is a living, natural material. The care and attention you give to your accessory will allow you to keep it for a long time.

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.

• Apply a non-greasy nourishing cream regularly (test it first on the inside or on an inconspicuous area) and make sure it contains no silicone. Note: apply only to the goatskin parts (not on the suede sections).
• At first, wear your accessory with dark clothing to avoid color transfer onto your clothes.
• Caution: dark clothing with poorly fixed dye may bleed onto your accessory.
• Keep away from sources of heat.
• Be careful not to snag your accessory, as the buffalo leather could tear.
• Avoid rubbing your accessory against abrasive surfaces.
• Avoid prolonged contact with water; humidity increases the risk of color transfer onto clothing.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light, which may alter the color.
