Vegetable tanning for premium products

The tanning industry is constantly evolving, making its processes ever more efficient and sustainable.

Proof of this is the vegetable tanning process, which makes it possible to process hides in a cleaner, more artisanal way than the current, most-widely used method, producing leathers that are more beautiful, more pleasant to the touch and much more durable.

At present chrome-tanned leathers account for most of the footwear and leather goods industry.

However, vegetable-tanned leathers provide a look that is so perfect that they are often used to increase the added value of designs or to move them up into the premium category.
