3. Is Italian leather the best? And what is vegetable tanning?
Unlike other methods of leather tanning which rely on heavy use of chemicals, Italian leather artisans use only natural plant-based extracts during manufacturing. Raw hides undergo treatment in large wooden drums where they are cleansed of salts and impurities. They are then tanned with vegetable extracts and natural tannins, extracted from trees and logs that give the leather its unique characteristics. The leather is then dried to remove excess moisture before it can be crafted into the goods you know and love.
4. What are the benefits of vegetable tanning?
4. What are the benefits of vegetable tanning?
The use of natural ingredients in the vegetable tanning process has three main benefits: The process results in leather that is built to last. It is softer, more flexible, and more durable than other leathers on the market. The leather has a distinct, timeless appearance. Because it relies on natural ingredients and the care of the leather artisans, no two hides look exactly alike. The marks that you find on the leather are not imperfections but unique features of each batch of leather made. It is super easy to care for. Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean cloth. Because goods made of Italian leather last longer and look nicer than other leather goods you may buy, Italian leather may actually be worth the investment. But, many Italian leather products command premium prices, just because they are made in Italy. It doesn’t take long to find Italian leather bags that can cost you many hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
