Vegetan leather, often called veg-tan leather, is a traditional, vegetable-tanned hide valued for its rich, warm tan tones and natural patina that deepens with use. Tanned using plant-based tannins from sources like tree bark and leaves, veg-tan leather is durable, breathable, and ages gracefully, developing character through scratches, oils, and sunlight. Its firm yet workable nature makes it ideal for high-quality leather goods—belts, wallets, saddlery, and bespoke upholstery—where structure and longevity are prized. Because it is less chemically processed than chrome-tanned alternatives, veg-tan leather is favored by artisans and sustainability-minded consumers
Ideal for wet molding, sculpting and etching
Colour: Dark Orange
