Hides

Vegetable tanned hides

Wide range of leather hides for any project

Genuine leather has always been valued for its natural beauty, durability and high quality. Thanks to modern technologies of manufacturing and finishing, leather hides are soft and thin. Products made from such leather do not crack or deform, and with proper care, they will last for a long time. Such leather hides are used for the manufacture of belts, wallets, notebooks, bracelets, shoes, furniture and any other leather goods. At Leffler, you can buy tanned leather hides of various colours and textures for making new things or updating old ones.

Vegetable-tanned leather hides

We sell full vegetable-tanned hides of the best quality available from Italy and Brazil.

Vegetable-tanned leather has a natural colour, a pleasant smell and a classic appearance. Such leather hides are ideal for hand embossing and engraving and are often used to create exclusive accessories. Veg-tan leather perfectly absorbs water, making it ideal for manufacturing and retaining patterns.

Vegetable-tanned leather is characterised by high dye and embossing capacity by the cold method. In addition, such leather features increased density and shape retention.

There are no limits to the embossing, stamping, or artistic engraving of vegetable-tanned leather. It can come in various textures and thicknesses, making it very versatile, so you can use it like furniture or shoe leather. Vegetable-tanned leather hides are often purchased by artisans who manufacture small exclusive leather goods, however, veg-tan leather's advantages are so significant that even horse harnesses and saddles are made from these hides. Double Shoulders and Double Butts are our best sellers!

Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural product of high quality, completely excluding chemical processing, for which fans of natural, "living" materials love it. This leather is pleasant to the touch, does not fade over the years, and the acquired natural scuffs only give it a vintage style.
