About the Leather - This luxurious vegetable tanned cow calf leather is a masterpiece, offering a smoothness and luxurious feel that has few to match. One of the key qualities of the leather is its medium firm temper, which provides a perfect balance between durability and comfort. Whether you're looking for a leather that will last for years or one that feels exquisite, this handmade leather is sure to exceed your expectations.

As a vegetable-tanned leather, this article is crafted using natural tannins extracted from bark and other plant matter. This traditional method results in a leather that is not only beautiful but is also gentle on the environment. The tannery sources raw hides from sustainable farms in the USA, and their leathers are recovered as a byproduct from our food chain so that nothing goes to the landfill. You can be assured that this leather was crafted with care for both the animal and the environment and is sure to impress even your most discerning customer.
