Vegetable Tanning – a Kinder Process
At Rustic Town we recognize that the leather industry employs highly toxic pollutants to process and make leather products.
We wanted to stay clear of using harmful chemicals and this is why the leather used in our bags and accessories is processed using the traditional technique of “vegetable tanning”.
This gives our leather unique natural characteristics and is less harmful. It takes longer and costs us more however, it is worth it.
