Vegetable-tanning is one of the oldest methods of making leather and it has been used for hundreds of years. 

The leather is tanned using tannins and other ingredients found in vegetable matter, such as tree bark, wood, leaves, roots and fruit. Vegetable tanning is environmentally friendly because leather tanned with this process can be recycled, because it is an age old tradition, most tanneries have highly skilled craftsmen dyeing the leather. The colours that vegetable tanning produces are rich and warm tones usually in shades of brown.

The average process time for vegetable tanning is around 60 days, this is why products that have been vegetable tanned are more expensive as they require more skill to produce and are of a higher quality.
