Veg tanned leather
Why is veg tan leather the eco-friendly choice?
Vegetable tanning, or veg tan as it’s sometimes called, is a natural process. It’s called “vegetable” because of the natural materials used in the tanning process like tree bark or plants.
Because of this, vegetable tanned leather develops a rich and beautiful patina, and actually gets better with time and use. It doesn’t crack or dry out and thus has a very long lifespan.
Vegetable tanning is totally eco-friendly, unlike the process of chrome tanning which creates toxic wastewater that has detrimental environmental impact, especially in the third world countries.
