Vegetable-tanned leather or “vegtan” for short is a traditional eco-friendly leather beautifully crafted to last a lifetime. It is more durable than any other leather and will ultimately develop a rich “patina” that enhances its natural beauty. Vegetable-tanned leather is also superior in terms of the environment. It is an organic method relying on natural dyes such as bark and plant tissue. It contains no harmful chemicals and has been used for centuries. Its smooth and flexible surface makes it ideal for molding leather sidewalls and creating high-end leather goods by hand.
