Vegetable tanned (or veg tan as it’s called by some) means that while in REB Huide & Velle’s tannery, before arriving in your workshop, the hides are treated with plant-based tannins and oils, as opposed to chrome chemicals. Among the various tanning methods, vegetable tanning is the most traditional, natural and Earth-friendly way to tan leather. The process is much less harmful to the environment and the final result is fully biodegradable!
When disposed of, after a lifetime of use, Vegetable tanned leather will be harmless to the environment and eventually naturally biodegrade, we at REB Huide & Velle think that’s something worth being conscious about when buying leather, don’t you?
