Conceria Walpier Art. Gaeta Leather
Walpier Gaeta leather is a premium semi-aniline, vegetable-tanned leather with a refined, smooth surface.
The leather undergoes a light buffing process, followed by the addition of pigments, resulting in a clean and uniform appearance.
Unlike other vegetable-tanned leathers, Gaeta has minimal wrinkles, offering a flawless finish that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly resistant to scratches. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking both beauty and durability in their leather goods.
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.
