Many people don’t know that there are major differences in how leather is made. Most leather products are tanned with chemicals such as chromium. This is fast and inexpensive, but it is not good for the environment.
At Beocca, we use vegetable-tanned leather. This is a traditional process that uses natural extracts from sources such as tree bark and leaves. It takes longer, but the result is more than worth it. The leather has a rich color and a natural scent, and it only becomes more beautiful over the years.
A vegetable-tanned leather bag becomes part of your life. Every scratch and crease tells a story. No two bags are exactly alike.
And most importantly, this process is better for the planet. No harmful substances are released into the water or air. Plus, because the leather lasts a long time, you can enjoy the bag for years.
Vegetable-tanned leather is ideal for people who consciously choose quality, sustainability, and character.
