The Benefits of Vegetable-Tanned Leather

At keep-studio, we create sustainable, handmade leather goods using only the finest vegetable-tanned leather. This environmentally friendly leather is crafted using natural tannins from plants and trees, offering a timeless alternative to mass-produced, chemically treated leather. 

Why Choose Vegetable-Tanned Leather?

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
Our leather is a byproduct of the food industry, ensuring no animal is harmed specifically for its hide. By utilising these discarded rawhides, we reduce waste and promote a zero-waste, circular economy.

Eco-Friendly Leather Production
The vegetable tanning process is free from harmful chemicals like chrome, azo dyes, and nickel. This ensures that our leather goods are not only safe for you but also kind to the environment. Plus, at the end of its lifecycle, vegetable-tanned leather naturally biodegrades, leaving no toxic footprint.

Slow Fashion and Timeless Quality
Unlike synthetic materials, vegetable-tanned leather improves with age. Over time, it develops a rich, unique patina, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. By choosing our leather goods, you’re investing in products that transcend fast fashion and align with the values of slow, sustainable fashion.

Sustainability in Every Step
Our tanning partners operate with strict adherence to eco-friendly and ethical practices, including water recycling and waste repurposing. Hair removed from hides is transformed into agricultural fertilisers, while other byproducts are used in construction materials.

A Sustainable Choice That Tells a Story

Each piece we craft embodies a commitment to ethical craftsmanship, environmental sustainability, and timeless design. Whether you’re searching for a durable leather bag or an heirloom-quality accessory, our vegetable-tanned leather products offer both luxury and sustainability, perfectly suited for today’s conscious consumer.
