European Origin Hides V1 Premium Grade 100% Vegetable-Tanned Natural, Undyed Wide Thickness Range
Product Overview
This V1 Natural Veg-Tan Leather is produced from European-origin steer and young bull hides, then slowly vegetable-tanned with Sepici’s historic recipe of oak, chestnut, mimosa, and quebracho. This traditional process uses natural tannins from tree bark and leaves, resulting in a rich, earthy aroma and a clean, natural full-grain surface.
With thickness options from 2/3oz up to 10/11oz, this leather supports the full range of tooling and crafting applications — from lightweight wallet interiors to heavy-duty holsters and straps. As a V1 Premium Grade, it offers exceptional consistency, tight grain, and superior carving performance.
