Hand woven vegetable tanned leather, finished in a light natural leather tone, it presents some imperfections which are part of its handmade craftmanship. Ideal to complement any room in transitional, traditional, rustic or contemporary rooms. Unlike the soft leather you are used to seeing on luxury leather goods such as high-end purses, vegetable tanned leathers are rustic, thick and very durable. For instance, consider this leather to be the type you would find in equestrian saddles and antique leather goods. Unlike chrome tanned leatherswhich have toxic properties, vegetable tanned products have less of an impact on our environment, eliminating much of the pollution caused by modern tanning methods. Every vegetable tanned leather produced is unique in its own way.
