Top Five Reasons Why You Should Buy a Vegetable-Tanned Leather Bag
Why is vegetable tanned leather better than all other leathers? Because this type of leather is renowned for its durability and unique patina, and the top tanneries in the world produce it, including Hermann Oak Tannery where we source all of our leather at Madison Stitch.
Here are five reasons why vegetable-tanned leather is the way to go when it comes to choosing a high-quality leather bag:
Vegetable-tanned leather is sustainable. Unlike chrome-tanned leather, which is produced using chemicals that can be harmful to people and the environment, vegetable-tanned leather is made using natural tannins extracted from trees and plants. This makes it a more sustainable and ethical choice for eco-conscious consumers.
Vegetable-tanned leather develops a unique patina over time. One of the most appealing things about vegetable-tanned leather is the way it ages. It lasts forever! As the leather is exposed to sunlight and other elements, it develops a rich, golden patina that's completely unique to the individual bag. This means that your leather bag will only look better with age, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind appearance.
Vegetable-tanned leather is produced by the top tanneries. Hermann Oak Tannery is one of the leading producers of vegetable-tanned leather, and we only use their leather in the leather goods we make. This means that when you invest in one of our bags, you're getting a piece made using the finest material available.
It’s long-lasting and durable. Because it's made using natural ingredients like cowhide and tree bark, vegetable-tanned leather is stronger and more durable than synthetic leathers. This means that your vegetable-tanned leather bag will be able to withstand regular use.
Vegetable-tanned leather is a sign of quality. When you carry a vegetable-tanned leather bag, you're sending a message that you value quality and are willing to invest in it. This sends a positive message to those around you and can even improve your professional reputation—when everyone is carrying around a plastic-looking bag from the big box store, you can make yourself stand out with a vegetable-tanned leather bag.
Vegetable-tanned leather is the best! Seriously, once you hold real leather in your hands, especially leather made by Hermann Oak Tannery, you’ll be able to tell the difference.
