How is Leather Made?
Making high quality leather is a very involved process and skillful tanning is the most crucial step. There is a lot of difference between leather that is made well and leather that is not skillfully tanned. Master Tanners and Curriers play a huge role in the making high quality leather. Vegetable tanned leather is tanned using bark, bark extract and in certain cases fruits. The most widely used sources for vegetable tanning today are Black Wattle, Myrobylan, Quebracho, Chestnut and Pods of the Tara tree.
