OUR LEATHER

At NUANCA we are committed to selecting the best quality materials that we can get our hands on. Sensitive textures that blend perfectly for a unique product experience. 

Process of Tanning

Overall, vegetable tanning is a time-consuming process that can take several weeks to complete.

 

However, it is an environmentally-friendly and sustainable method of tanning leather, as it uses natural materials and avoids the use of harmful chemicals. The resulting leather is strong, durable, and has a unique character and patina that develops over time.

Why we choose Vegetable Tanned Leather?

Research has shown that a significant part of the environmental impact of leather occurs in the manufacturing process.

 

Therefore, it is not only the chemicals used in the tanning process that should determine how eco-friendly the leather is. Accordingly, water, wastewater, air emissions and energy use are responsibly managed at our tanneries.
