Calf Leather

What is vegetable-tanned calf leather? To make vegetable tanned calf leather, artisans employ natural tannins from plants, avoiding harmful chemicals. The process begins with carefully selected calf hides, which are soaked in a mixture of water and vegetable tannins for weeks.

How do you care for leather?

Regular care is crucial to preserving the leather’s lifespan and achieving patina. We also recommend avoiding overexposure to heat, light and humidity during wear and storage of your pieces. To clean the leather, we advice using a soft, damp cloth and swiping over the piece evenly. Cleaning should always be followed by an undyed leather conditioner or gentle leather balm. Regular conditioning nurtures the leather's suppleness, natural flexibility and will help develop a beautiful patina with time.
