      From the maker, Mark Honoré:

      I have chosen to make the Desk Accessories from a Full Vegetable tanned cowhide.  The leather is a mid-weight, or medium thickness of about 3.0 to 3.25mm, and has been sourced from the Tuscan area of Italy.

      Italian tanneries source most of their skins from Northern Europe Scandinavia. These areas produce the “cleanest”, least scarred hides from anywhere in the world.  The leather is fully vegetable Tanned, Analine dyed-through, and finished with a Analine Pigment finish. I believe this finish provides the best protection from scratching, scuffing and spills.

      A word from Mark on  Vegetable-Tanning

      For centuries family run tanneries in Italy have perfected the process known as Bark Tanning, or Vegetable Tanning. The process is achieved through the use of tannin, mostly in a powdered form. Tannin is extracted from the trunk, bark, and nuts of trees such as Oak, Chestnut, Mimosa and Argentine Quebracho.

      With the addition of water, a special tanning liquor is achieved. The skins are soaked in this for up to a couple of weeks, ensuring deep, all-over penetration. Additional processes applied across the skin, include, splitting shaving, colouring and addition of softening oils.

      My focus here, though, is really to relate the magic and beauty of Vegetable Tanned Leather.

      Pick it up, feel its weight, its substance, gently roll it in your hands, watch how it moves, take a “sniff”, observe its structure and surface.

      Love it, look after it and rejoice in its unique beauty.
