To Day in The Life of An Artisan
Ubrique, Andalusia
The technique
As its name suggests, veg-tanning is an ancient organic method based on natural plant tannins from bark or other plant tissues. Tannins from trees such as oak, chestnut, and mimosa are popular.
Due to its natural characteristics, leather ages beautifully over time and begins to reveal on its surface the history of its life and that of its wearer.
A light sheen often appears on frequently handled areas, and some parts of the surface may darken as they absorb natural oils.
