Not every hide ends up here. Around 10% of leather meets the standard for full-grain vegetable tanning, the part of the hide that hasn't been sanded, corrected, or coated. We source from tanneries in Tuscany that have been doing it the same way for centuries. The process takes weeks, not days. The result is leather that breathes, ages, and develops a patina that chrome-tanned leather never will. Same tanneries. Nineteen years.
