Vegetable-tanning is the true traditional way of tanning a hide.  Veg-tanning has always been the old world's inalienable material for decades.  This artisanal process takes advantage of several tannic acids naturally found in plants, using the tree bark, branches, and leaves.  Its natural appearance has a slight beige color coming from the plant extracts, which changes to a caramel tone with a natural patina over time.  It has the most beautiful smell of nature, such as wood and earth.
