Uniquely Troubadour vegetable-tanned leather
Our vegetable-tanned leather is created in Italy using an entirely natural process that dates back
more than a thousand years. At our tanneries in Tuscany, top-quality cowhides are immersed for
several weeks in a mixture of bark powders, natural oils and water. This vegetable tanning
transforms the hides into soft, smooth, durable leather of the highest quality that will last
for a lifetime.
The more you use it, the better it looks. Troubadour vegetable-tanned leather
ages beautifully over time, without compromising on performance.
Strong, supple and made to last. Natural oils within the leather create a
wonderful patina as it ages, giving each piece its own distinctive feel.
Deep, rich colouring, all the way through. Our vegetable-tanned leather is
immersed for several days in a barrel containing a colour solution which permeates the entire
leather. This is far superior to synthetic finishes, where dye is sprayed onto the leather
surface towards the end of the process and can be scratched off over time.
Easy to care for. The natural properties of vegetable-tanned leather make
it easy to care for. Light scratches can be rubbed away with a finger, and polishing with a
soft cloth keeps the leather clean as it develops a softer look and feel with age.
