For our bags we use 100% genuine cow leather.
"Vegetable tanned leather" refers to the tannage, or the method of tanning the cowhide into leather. It’s called “vegetable” because of the natural tannins used in the tanning process, like tree bark.
For our products we only use vegetable tanned leather, dyed with anilines to give them color.

We use a classic leather that shows its wear beautifully over time. It will not remain pristine and sleek, and although scratching will occur, we do not view these marks as defects. The patina created by daily wear-and-tear is meant to change and evolve over time.
The vegetable tanning process results in a thicker leather, that turns soft with use.

Please note that vegetable tanned leather tends to oxidize when exposed to light, air, wind. This may cause the Tan and Forest colors to become darker and even brownish.

Also, as we use anilines to dyed the leather and give it color, in some occasions, this can generate the transmission of Burgundy and Black color when rubbing against the garments.
