MATERIALS
We make use of only responsibly sourced materials, and these materials are made into high quality products that can stand the test of time. Our woven mules and bags are produced with vegetable-tanned leather. As suggested by the term, vegetable-tanned leather is treated with entirely natural and organic tannins. These tannins are extracted from vegetables or trees and infused into the grain of the hide. Only 10% of the worlds leather is tanned this way, a fact that only goes to prove how special our products are.
Vegetable-tanned leather is safer for the environment, the consumer, and the producer. Furthermore, it yields a type of leather that develops a rich patina with age and use.
