Since the beginning of man, hides were used for clothing. Man quickly learned that by soaking skins in a solution of salt and oak bark, hides turned into leather - the tanning process was born. At that time the skins might have soaked for a whole year before they were tanned. Nowadays the leather is tanned like 30 days and instead of oak the vegetable tanning process is based on the use of tannin.

This natural substance, tannin, can be found in many different trees and vegetables, in variable concentrations according to the different species. It is sometimes contained in the bark, sometimes in the leaves, in the wood or in the fruits as well as in the roots. These natural tannin extracts make the vegetable tanned leather unique, immediately recognizable and easily distinguishable from leather tanned with other methods.
Being tanned with natural tannins, the leather products can easily be recycled, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics.

The trees from certified plantations are not taken down for the bark. The barks are taken from the trees allowing the trees to live and grow back more bark.

Many of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled and reused in different fields. The water used is recycled and kept in a closed water system.

We are using top grain leather. By using various vegetable tanning techniques many types of leather, differing in thickness, smoothness and structure, are created. The use of natural oils and wax softens the leather creating a warm and brilliant shade.
We hope you share our interest in environmental protection as well as our respect for working conditions. It has been our guideline from the start, almost 40 years ago, and will continue to be so.
