The color of the leather varies from piece to piece due to the nature of natural Veg-Tanned leather. And Veg-Tanned also has a characteristic that darkens little by little over time.

Therefore, depending on the timing of the leather's shipment, the color may be bright or dark, and there may be leather materials, wrinkles, and spots on each part.

Vera Pelle Leather Production

• No animal is killed for its skin. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption which otherwise would have notable environmental impact in their disposal.
• Starting with a natural and renewable material, tanned with natural tannins, a vegetable-tanned leather object can biodegrade at the end of its lifecycle, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics.
• Many of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled, and reused in different fields. Hair removed from raw hides is transformed into agricultural fertilizer; sludge produced by the depuration plants is repurposed for use as construction material.
• Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather, recognizable by its trademark, does not contain any toxic substances such as azo-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI, harmful not only to man but also to the environment.
