Vegetable tanned Leather is one of the most eco and environmentally friendly ways to tan leather hide and the process takes leather artisans a while to complete. It remains one of the oldest methods and has been used for thousands of years where natural vegetable matter, tannins found in wood, roots, barks and other parts of plants are used to process the leather in a natural way. It takes time, is expensive but very natural, traditional bringing about a quality and expertly crafted leather item piece. At Ashwood, we select the leathers used for our accessories for their individual beauty, performance and feel. Each skin is unique, so any quirks are viewed as characteristic of leather's natural appeal. Ashwood is a British Leather Design House with an overseas Award Listed Tannery and Fully Ethical and Audited factory which was achieved by hard work and stringent methods.
